The soil best suited to the Beet is a deep and light, rich sandy loam. Fpr very early crops, the seed of Egyptian Turnip, or somt' similar sort, is sown in hotbeds, and the seedlings are trans- planted to the open ground as soon as it is warm enough. For main crop or early Beets, the seed is sown outside, as soon as the soil is in good condition, in drills from 12 to 14 inches apart, and covered about i inch deep ; the plants are thinned to stand 10 inches apart in the rows. • The thinnings are excellent when prepared for the table like Spinach. For winter crops, sow seed in July, in drills as for early Beets, but the plants need not be thinned to stand more than .'6 inches apart. An ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds, an acre. CBiOSBir HtSFBiOVED.
