Remolacha, Sp. One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds for an acre. Culture. Fibrous loam, well-drained and well-enriched, will raise good Beet crops. For early table Beets, have drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and sow the seed about 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be put in good shape. Or seed may be sown under glass four weeks sooner, and the young seedlings transplanted to open ground, to give an extra early crop. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. For succession sow at intervals until middle of July. For the earliest sowings a light dressing of nitrate of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometime, work wonders. Dreer's Special Crosby's Egyptian. (See Specialties, page 4.)

It is thicker through than the old Egyptian, and this, together with the rich vermilion color, makes it a very attractive sort. The quality is excellent, being sweet and tender. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 Cts.; £ lb., 45 cts.; lb., $ Early Eclipse. Perfectly smooth and round; skin and flesh intense red. This variety is extremely early; in fact, one of the first to be ready for the table. It does not grow to large size, but is desirable for its earliness and sweet, tender
