curately, one hundred seed-cases were planted. What are usually called 
beet seeds, are collections of small utricles, each of which may contain 
a seed. As will appear in the table, the number of plants that grew 
from the one hundred seed-cases planted, is usually more than one 
hundred. 
_The plants were thinned in the row to three inches apart, but we 
noted that the end plants of nearly every row were best developed, 
which indicates that they should have been given more room. 
The statistics noted are as follows :
