BEET . — Continued. 
Ornamental Foliated Beet.— An interesting species for decoration in the flower garden. The 
thick fleshy ribs are beautifully coloured either yellow, crimson, cream, or white, and the contrast wiih the 
shining green leafage is very effective. 
Price 6d. and is. per packet. 
Croton-leaved Beet.— A decided acquisition to the group of decorative Beets, the long, narrow, crimson- 
bronze leaves having an elegant appearance. For the ribbon border, or as a pot plant for table decoration, 
it is effective. The roots are edible. 
Price 6d. and IS. per packet. 
Seakale Beet.— An improved type of a delicious vegetable, in reality a Beet in which cultivation has 
developed the leaves instead of the root. It is sown at the same season as Beetroot in April, in rows 
about i8 inches apart, and the plants thinned out to 15 inches apart. At the end of summer they may 
be lifted as required, the green portion of the leaves cut off and the fleshy stems boiled and served with 
sauce, like Seakale. 
Price 6d. and is. per packet.

“You may be interested to know that I have been a customer Of your house for over 60 years, 
quite in a small way, but I have always received the same courteous attention as any of your largest customers. 
I have much pleasure in telling you this.”— Mrs. Rogers, Lansdowne Avenue, Tonbridge. 
“ Last year your seeds did remarkably well, especially the Outdoor Tomatoes, and all visitors were 
pleased with the prolific appearance of the kitchen garden.”— C. S. Cathy, Esq., Southsea, March Tth, 1907. 
“ We have what we consider a very fine crop Of your Sunrise Tomato (Indoors). They average about 
10 bunches to a plant, many of the clusters a foot long, with from 12 to 20 fruit, and some Of the Clusters 
weighing 2 or 3 pounds.”— Mr. Marshall, The Gardens, The Cottage, Neasden. 
The Cultivation of Beet.—T\io. round varieties required for early use should be sown under cover in 
February. The main crop should be sown the last week in April, on ground that has been well trenched and 
manured. Let the rows be about iS inches apart, thin them to allow about 9 inches between the plants, and 
keep the soil well-stirred with the hoe during summer.
