BEET. — Continued. 
Carters Dainty. — This is a small-growing variety of more than ordinary merit, and was included in the 
Champion and First Prize Exhibit ofVegetabi.es (open to the World), Shrewsbury, 1912 It his 
long slender roots of a splendid deep crimson colour, and of the finest flavour possible. In naming it 
Dainty , we wish to convey the extremely refined quality of this variety ; it does not attain to the size of 
our Perfection ( see page 7). 
Price is. 6d. per ounce ; 6d. and is. per packet. 
Ornamental Foliag’ed Beet. — All interesting species for decoration in the flower garden. The thick 
fleshy ribs are beautifully coloured either yellow, crimson, cream, or white, and the contrast with the shining 
green leafage is very effective.

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 
18 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

Comparative Tests of Round Beet in our Grounds at Raynes Park. 
The Cultivation oj Beet. — The 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 18 inches 
apart, thin them to allow about 9 inches between the plants, and keep the soil well-stirred with the hoe during summer.
