BEETS 



One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 

 6 to 7 pounds, an acre 



Beet tops have unusually high food value, 

 being rich in vitamins A and C and ranking 

 high as suppliers of calcium and iron. Save 

 all your Beet tops, especially the little ones 

 pulled out in thinning; they make delicious 

 cooked greens. 



Culture. Beets do best in fairly light, 

 well-enriched soil which is kept well culti- 

 vated during the season. Sow in drills 1 foot 

 apart and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground 

 can be worked, and for a succession continue 

 sowing up to the middle of August. When 3 

 inches tall thin out to stand 4 inches apart. 



Late Beets can be kept for winter use by 

 packing the roots in slightly moist earth in 

 a cool cellar.
