BEET. 



German, Runkel Ruebe. French, Betterave. 



Where a variety and choice of soil is at command, s'elect that 

 which is rather light for this crop. It must, however, be thor- 

 oughly 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. 



1 oz. to 50 feet of drill, 5 lbs. to the acre in drills.
