Currie’s Beets 
CULTURE—Where a variety and choice of soil is at com- 
mand, select that which is rather light for this crop. It 
must, however, be thoroughly enriched. As early in the 
spring as the ground can be properly cultivated, lay out the 
drills for the seed about a foot apart. Sow the seed thinly, 
covering to a depth of 1 inch; when large enough to handle, 
thin out the plants to about 6 inches apart. The ae 
pulled up may easily be transplanted elsewhere, suede loss 
1 oz. to 100 feet of drill, 7 lbs. to the acra in drills.
