Be sure to press the soil in firm contact with the seeds to insure prompt and even germination. By middle of April, plants will be 4 inches tall, when they should be set out in the garden in rows 18 inches apart, with the seedlings four inches apart in the row. For a continuous supply throughout the season, make the first sowing outdoors along middle of April, and again every two weeks up to August 1st. To be most palatable, Beets should be eaten while quite young, when the bulbs average two inches in diameter, no more. To secure a good start outdoors, the gardener should always walk over the rows after the seeds are sown. To secure a uniformly well shaped product, seedlings should be thinned out to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Those that are pulled up will make good greens or may be transplanted into other rows. 140 Bastian's Half-Long Blood. An excellent variety particularly for fall or winter use. The roots are smooth, flesh bright red and the quality is very good. It is a splendid keeper, and for winter use the seed should be sown early in July. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 45 cts.; lb., $ 142 Crimson Globe. This Beet is remarkable for its smooth skin and good shape. It is a second early variety, does not grow large and coarse, the matured Beets being medium in size and rather oblong is shape. The flesh and skin are both very dark and quality fine, being sweet and tender. We are confident that this Beet will please all who plant it. Pkt., 10 c
