CARTERS TESTED SEEDS—CHOICE VEGETABLES BEET. The Cultivation of Beets.—The seed should be sown from as soon as the ground can be worked in spring until July 1st, in sod that has been well trenched and manured. Let the rows be about 18 in. apart, thin them to allow about 9 in. between the plants, and keep the soil well cultivated during the summer. 1 oz. of seed will sow 50 ft. of drill, 5 to 6 lb. per acre. No. 6 Carters Crimson Ball.—Awarded the First Class Certificate of the Royal Horticultural Society. A round summer variety. The roots are ready foi use in the summer salads. Round Beets are of the greatest value on account of earliness. The roots can be lifted during the height of the summer season when salads are in demand; and Hie fresh taste imparted by the highly- coloured slices is considered preferable to that from stored roots. The old-fashioned lint tyi>es were never in favour with cooks, because of their weak colour and stringy texture. In Carters Crimson Ball these defect* have been remedied. Fine specimens Of this variety have l»ccn exhibited in Gold Medal Collections, and during the past few seasons 65 First Prizes have been reported. 7 Carters Dainty.—This is a small growing variety of more than ordinary merit. It has long tender roots of a splendid deep crimson colour, and of the finest flavour iiossible.
