GARDEN OR TABLE BEETS. 
CULTURE.—These are of universal culture, but we would emphasize the importance 
of using improved strains which will produce the finest and smoothest roots with a 
minimum amount of foliage. Make frequent sowings in order that a constant supply of 
tender young roots may be had throughout the season. When ailowed to get too old, the 
roots become hard, have a woody fiber, and to a great extent lose their sweet flavor. 
Seed may be sown as early in spring as the ground can be worked in a good condition. 
Sowings should be made for succession at least once a month up to the first of July, 
when we recommend a large sowing to produce a supply of well-grown roots for winter 
use. If the roots are gathered on the approach of cold weather and packed in slightly 
moist earth, they can be kept in a cool cellar in perfect condition until spring. 1 oz. seed 
to 100 ft. drill. 10 lbs. to acre.
