Currie’s Beets 
CULTURE—Where a variety and choice of soil is at 
command, 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 cul- 
tivated, 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 plants pulled up may eas- 
ily be transplanted elsewhere, avoiding loss. 1 oz. to 
100 feet of drill, 7 lbs. to the acre in drills.
