Carrie'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 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 plants pulled up may easily be transplanted 

 elsewhere, avoiding loss. 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill, 7 

 lbs. to the acre in drills.
