Beets fer Winter


Beets Tor winter use, and for seed,
are better for bate sowing. When
sowed early they obtsiu tlieir growth
before cold weather, und bscome dry
aud bard, and are tending to decay,
aud gradually losing in value. But
SOW beets rather late, so that they
sill not have attained quite a full
growth as vegetation Ceases, and they
will be young and tender for the ta-
bic, will keep well, and if set for seed,
they will be vigorous and send forth
strong shoots.
We sowed beets last season the
18th of June, and they grew Too large,
aud were too old and hard at harvest
time; and We shall SOW this season
about the 4th Of July; the latter Pc
ROO VIII lie emily enough, should the
fall be as VAIN as il was last year
10 Maine, we used to SOW our teeti
about the first week in June. II
this way We succeeded far better
than when we sowed early in May
for in such cases the crown Of the
roots would decay in winter, and VIZ
could not keep them in good condi
ton for seed, or amy other purpose
A partially g,own beet, or otbel
root, viii keep far better than those
that are full grown. We turn warn
water on our seed, and keep it in &
warm place. about two days before
sowing, which forwards it about one
week and gives the plants a start Of
the weeds.
