regular distances of 2 or 3 inches, for although this space is too small for final growth, it is wise 
to bo liberal in sowing ; cover with fine soil and beat it dowu upon the seed with the baok of the 
spade. When the plants have attained throe or four leaves, thin out gradually till they stand 8 or 
9 inches apart. Beet will transplant, but it is attended with considerable risk, and as a rule 
dwarfs the plants. Keep the rows free from weeds by hand-weeding and hoeing. In October the 
plants may bo taken up and stored, care being taken that they are not bruised and injured in cutting 
off the straggling leaves.

Two sowings may be made, the first early in March, the second any time during April, in prepared 
beds, from which they may either bo transplanted into nursery beds, or wherever they are intended 
to be grown ; by the former method, stronger plants will be obtained, and most kinds can be planted
