Culture. Fibrous loam, well drained and well j^riched, will raise good Beet crop. 

 For early table Beets, have drills 16 to -20 inches apart, and sow the seed about 1 inch 

 deep, as early as the ground can be put in good shape, or seed may be sown under glass 

 i weeks sooner and the young seedlings transplanted to open ground, to give an extra 

 early crop. 



Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants to stand 2 inches apart 

 in the row. 



For succession, sow at intervals to middle of July. For earliest sowings, a light 

 dressing of nitrate of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders. 



377. Bolgiano's Early Spring Beet. First Beet in market. Most 

 perfect shape and. color. Earlier maturing than Crosby's Egj^ptian and 

 of much finer grain. Has very small tap root and small top. All coming 

 into maturity at same time. Well adapted for forcing. 



295. Bonfire," Bolgiano's Early Beet. A splendid variety, 

 especially adapted for market gardeners; being suited for forcing under 

 glass and for open ground culture. For home garden this Beet will be 

 found desirable, as it retains its freshness and high quality without be- 

 coming tough.

 and for its dwarf foliage. Roots are bright glossy red. 



5. Crosby's Improved Extra Early Egyptian Beet. An improve- 

 ment of Extra Early Egyptian, being as early, but of more desirable 

 shape, color and quality. It is very sweet and tender; a most valuable

 purple. Flesh is a rich blood red, slightly zoned or ringed. Never stringy.
