Cultural Directions. —The best results are obtained on a deep, 
rich, sandy, well-worked soil. Smooth beets cannot be grown if 
fresh manure is used. If wanted very early, sow in hotbeds and trans¬ 
plant, cutting off outer leaves. For early outdoor crop, sow about 
one inch deep in rows one foot apart as early as the ground can be 
worked. When plants are large enough, thin out to three inches 
apart in rows. One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill, six to eight pounds 
for an acre.

and of a deep crimson color. The flesh is tender and of fine quality.

Crosby's Egyptian (Special Stock). —This special selection is a 
decided improvement over the regular strain of Crosby’s Egyptian. 
In producing this strain, selection is made not only for uniform shape, 
but also for dark color and extreme earliness. It is much darker 
than the regular Crosby’s Egyptian and matures more evenly. We 
know of instances where the crop has been cleaned off the ground in 
two pullings. It is one of the best all-year-round varieties and is 
especially desirable for growing under sash.

crop beet. Root smooth, globe-shaped, remaining crisp, sweet and 
tender for a long time. The skin is of a dark red color, with flesh 
still darker. Top medium-sized. If sown with Crosby’s Egyptian, 
it will mature a few days later. We are confident it will pleate any 
Market Gardener who wants a blood-red beet.
