BEETS— MANGEL-WURZEL, SUGAR, ETC.— continued, 

 perhaps six feet, on a dry, sloping situation ; cover at first with a piece of canvas, and as the cold increases 



this should be replaced by about six inches of either salt-hay, straw, 

 sea-weed, or even corn-stalks. Lest this covering be displaced by 

 the wind, a light layer of earth is necessary. As soon as this surface 

 soil becomes frozen, about six or eight inches more of earth should 

 be placed over the entire heap. By following up this gradual pro- 

 cess of covering, all danger of heating will be obviated, and the 

 roots will keep in perfect order. Sow from four to five pounds to 

 the acre.

Culture. — Sow early sorts as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, in shallow drills, drawn 

 three or four inches apart. Plant out two feet apart each way when the plants are about four inches high. 

 Cultivate the same as cabbage, in rich soil. Use the same remedies for insect attacks as are recommended 

 or cabbage. 



The following are sorts best adapted to this climate, and the only ones which succeed generally; they are 

 excellent, and deserve much wider culture than is usual in 

 this country. We recommend No. 307 as the most certain 

 to give satisfactory results.
