BEET. 
Cultivation. — To ensure a crop of good Beetroot, it is of the highest importance that the seed should be of the very best strain procurable 
such as offered by ourselves. Another very important point to observe is that the ground must not be specially manured for this crop, a good plan 
being to select a plot that has been cropped 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 garden ; the ground should be deeply trenched (the deeper the better) quite early in the season. Before 
sowing, the ground should bo 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 Perfection 
and Green Top will bo found the most useful for a general crop. The seed should be sown in drills one inch deep and about 18 inches from row to 
row. A liberal quantity of seed should be used to ensure a good plant, and when the seedlings are nicely up, they should be thinned out, leaving 
them about 9 inches apart. As a rule those sown at the end of May produce roots of better quality. Keep the beds regularly hoed and weeded so that 
the soil may be free about the plants. . . , . 
When specimen roots are wanted for Exhibition, it is the usual practice to make holes about 2 feet deep in the bed with a crowbar, and nil them 
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 crop 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 injure* 
in any way, or they will bleed and lose quality ; also the leaves should not be cut but twisted off with the hand. In this way the roots may be kept un i 
the following Summer.
