One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill ; 5 or 6 pounds for an acre. 



The soil best suited for Beet culture is that which is rather light and 

 well enriched. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as early as the 

 ground can be worked ; when the plants are large enough thin out to stand 

 6 inches apart in rows; continue for a succession as late as the middle of 

 July. Keep well cultivated.
