BEET, 
The Cultivation of Beets. —The seed should be sown from as soon as the ground can be worked in spring until July 1st, in soil that has 
been well trenched and manured. Let the rows be about 18 in. apart, thin them to allow about 9 in. between the plants, and keep the soil 
well cultivated during the summer. 1 oz. of seed will sow 50 ft. of drill, 5 to 6 lb. per acre. 
6 Carters Crimson Ball.— 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. 
The old-fashioned flat types were never in favour with cooks, 
because of their weak colour and stringy texture. In Carters 
Crimson Ball these defects have been remedied. Fine specimens 
of this variety have been exhibited in Gold Medal Collections, 
and during the past few seasons 65 First Prizes have been 
reported. 
7 Carters Dainty.— This is a small-growing variety of more 
than ordinary merit. It has long tender 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

FIELD BEETS OR 
1628 Carters Improved Mammoth Long Red. — The largest 
and most productive of all the long red sorts. It is smooth 
skinned and fine grained, and very regular in size. During the 
very dry summer of 1911 this variety did particularly well on all 
soils when shallower-rooted varieties mostly failed. 
1625 Carters Red Emperor. — A heavy cropping intermediate 
variety, with high feeding value, density of flesh, digestible 
solids, and keeping qualities. Its rich, solid flesh renders 
Carters Red Emperor a valuable Mangel for fat stock raisers 
who require the maximum bulk of feed with the maximum of 
digestive food solids. 
1627 Carters Dreadnought.— This is a fine type of the inter- 
mediate oval-shaped Yellow Mangel, possessing a small top and

1630 Carters Improved White 8ugar Beet. — A superior 
variety of the Continental Sugar Beet.

which is now a perfect and refined root. The best long Beet in 
cultivation ; medium size, rich crimson lake colour, and splendid

in three Gold Medal Exhibits. 87 First Prizes were reported 
from customers. 
27 Carters Selected 8tock, Crosby’s Egyptian. — This 
well-known Beet is recognised by beet growers in general as the 
standard of the early varieties. The roots are round and run 
very uniform in size and shape, the flesh being a rich red in 
colour and very sweet.

in rows about 14 ft. apart, and the plants thinned out to 
1 ft. apart.

fine shoulder. It withstands the drought, and from its peculiar 
habit this variety may be set closer in rows than other sorts of 
Mangel. 
1624 Carters Windsor. — A big improvement on any of the yellow- 
fleshed Globe Mangels. It grows such a clean root, free from 
fangs, and with a small top, that the crop is easily pulled. This 
Mangel is capable of producing from 90 to 120 tons per acre. We 
recommend it as the best all-round variety where only one sort is 
grown.

both in pod and seed, by far the largest Broad Bean ever raised.
