GENERAL LIST OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. .e#MET QARDENERS Dewing. BEETS. (Rothe oder Runkelruebe.) For the very early crop the Egyptian variety is sown in the hot-bed, and from there transplanted in the open ground as soon as the weather permits. The soil best suited to the beet is a deep, light and rich sandy loam. For early beets, the seed should be sown about the middle of April, or as soon as the ground is in good working condition, in drills twelve to fourteen inches apart, and thinned to ten inches apart in the drills. For winter crops the 1st of July is the right time ; have the drills the same distance apart as for early beets, but do not thin to more than four or six inches apart in drills, as, the weather being warmer, they will grow as well at this season as early ones grow in April thinned to ten inches apart. Cover one inch deep. m~One ounce will sow fifty feet of drill. 1/ Egyptian Blood Turnip.
