the distance between the rows nor the weights of the beets 
are given. 
Seed beets, to the number of no of the Vilmorin varie- 
ties, were analyzed ; the results may be summarized as fol- 
lows : The percentage of sugar ranged from 7 to 17, and it 
is noted that the beets were in bad condition. Seven of the 
no beets contained less than 10 per cent, of sugar and six- 
teen of them contained upwards of 14 per cent. 
The following samples are accompanied by a statement
