EARLY BLOOD TURNIP BEET. 
BEET. 
One ounce sows 50 feet of drill, 5 to 6 lbs. for one acre. 
A rich, deep, open soil is best suited to the culture of 
Beet; fresh manure is undesirable, but land that has been 
well manured the previous year is highly suitable. For 
an early supply sow in spring, as soon as the ground be- 
comes fit to work, in drills about 1 foot apart and 2 
inches deep, pressing the earth firmly upon the seed—a 
very important matter. For main cropsow the first week 
in May, and for winter use sow in June. When the 
plants have attained three or four leaves, thin out, so 
that they may stand 8 or 9 inches apart. Keep free 
from weeds by hand weeding and hoeing, Those in- 
tended for winter use may be taken up in October, and 
stored in dry sand in the cellar or outhouse. Before stor- 
ing, leaves and fibers must be trimmed off, but care must 
be taken not to bruise the main root.
