DANIELS' CRIMSON PERFECTION- Reduced from a Photograph. 
Cultivation.— To ensure a crop of good Beetroot, it is of the highest importance that the seed should be of the very best strain procurab le 
such as offered by ourselves. Another very important point to observo is that the ground must not be specially manured for this orop, a good plan 
being to select a plot that has boen oropped during the previous season with French Beans, Potatoes, or Celery. The soil should be a good light loam, 
where possible, and in an open part of the gardon ; the ground should be deeply trenched (the deeper the better) quite early in the season. Bc.o»o 
sowing, the ground should be made firm and level. _ . _ _ 
Sow the seed any time from the middle of April to the end of May. For an early crop New Red Globe is one of the best. Daniels Crimson PerlectiOR 
and Green Top will be found the most useful for a general crop. The seed should be sown in drills one inch deep and about 18 inches from row o 
row. A liberal quantity of seed should bo used to onsure a good plant, and when the seedlings are nicely up, they should be thinned out, leaving 
them about 9 inohes apart. As a rule those sown at the end of May produce roots of better quality. Keep the beds regularly hoed and weeded so a 
the soil may be free about the plants. . ...... , , rn 
When speoimen roots are wanted for Exhibition, it is the usual practice to make holes about 2 feet deep in the bed with a crowbar, and i em 
with fine soil. The seeds are sown in these and thinned out, one plant being left to each hole. In this way splendidly shaped roots are grown. 
The orop should be lifted in October and stored in dry sand in a shed or cellar for Winter use. Care should be taken that the roots are not injury 
in any way, or they will bleed and lose quality ; also the leaves should not be out but twisted off with the hand. In this way the roots may be kept until 
the following Summer.
