BALTIMORE EARLY market BEET 



— Its qualities afe extra early ; dark red color ; 

 fineness of shape and small top. It is earlier than 

 Crosby's Egyptian ; darker and much resemb- 

 ling it in shape. One of the most attractive va- 

 rieties grown and is specially desirable for hot 

 beds on account of its small top and close grow- 

 ing habit. It certainly will take first place 

 among early Beets.

STOCK BEETS grow larger than other Beets, and 

 hence require more room. They should be sown 

 from April to June, in drills two and a half feet 

 apart, and the plants thinned to twelve to fifteen 

 inches in the row. The attention of farmers to the 

 growing of Beets for stock feeding has rapidly in- 

 creased, but it should be grown more generally 

 and will show the results in the health and condi- 

 tion of the stock. It supplies good, rich food for 

 cattle during the winter.
