. Money in the garden : a vegetable manual, prepared with a view to economy and profit . Vegetable gardening. 60 BEETS. This is not pleasing to tlie eye, and therefore injures it for a market variety. The Bassano is a favorite in the kitchen-garden for home con- sumption, and is very early. ^_c^ Long Smooth Blood Beet. £ ^^^^^^^^^ —"^^^^ ^® without doubt the i^'^'^^^ most popular Long Beet, either for market or family use. Wlien grown on strong ground, the roots are long, smooth, free from rootlets, and of fine quality. The White Sugae and Mangel Wuetzel are grown as a field-crop in dairy dis- tricts, and they deserve a passing word in that con- nection. When Beets are grown for market, the ground is heavily manured early in the Spring, using fifty to seventy tons of yard-manure to the acre. This ma- nure is ploughed under, the surface levelled, and then the ground marked out, the rows fifteen to eighteen inches apart, with a garden-marker. The seed is put in with a seed-drill, using four to six poimds of fresh seed to an acre. Four pounds would be quite enough, provided all the seed would germi- nate and come iip. But it is always better to have garden-seeds come up too thick than too thin • es- pecially is it so with Beets, for, when young, they will sell readily by the barrel for greens. Gardeners sometimes sell from thirty to forty dollars worth.
