BEET. 
French— Betterave potag&re. 
The Cultivation of Garden 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 I A ft. apart, thin them to allow 
about 9 inches between the plants, and keep the soil well stirred with the hoe during the summer. 
EDIBLE-LEAVED. 
No. 
8 Sca.ka.lc or Silver. — An improved type of a delicious vege- 
table; in reality, a Beet in which cultivation has developed the 
leaves instead of the root. It is sown at the same season as Beet- 
root — in April, in rows about lA ft. apart, and the plants thinned 
out to about 1.1 ft. apart. At the end of summer they maybe 
lifted as required, the green portion of the leaves cut off and the 
fleshy stems boiled and served with sauce, like Seakale.

ROUND BEET. 
6 Crimson Ball, Carters. Awarded the First Class Certificate 
of the Royal Horticultural Society. A round summer variety. 
The roots are ready for use in the summer salads. Round Beets 
are of the greatest value on account of earliness. The roots can 
be lifted during the height of the summer season when salads 
are in demand; and the fresh taste imparted by the highly- 
coloured slices is considered preferable to that from stored roots. 
Fine specimens of this variety were exhibited by our Firm 
with our other selected Vegetables at Birmingham, Ipswich 
and Bournemouth. Awarded 3 Gold Medals and 2 Challenge 
Cups. 96 First Prizes reported in open competition during 1921.

198 Russian Kale, Carters (Chou de Rnssie). — Award of 
Merit and First Class Certificate after trial at Wisley. This 
distinct and extremely hardy variety stood the exceptionally 
severe winter better than any other variety grown ; the leaves 
are very curious in form, somewhat resembling a deer’s antler, 
of singularly thick substance, and of a peculiarly green colour. 
When cooked this is the most delicious variety of Kale which we 
have ever tried, the young shoots especially being particularly 
delicate in flavour. (See Photograph .)

large quantities of sprouts; when cooked are delicious. It

greatly encourage the growth of the young shoots upon the stem.
