THE BEST GARDEN BEETS 



(oalatritben) 



The soil best suited for the Beet is a deep, light and rich loam. For very early crops, the seed is 

 sown in hotbeds, and the seedlings are transplanted to the open ground. For main crop, the seed is sown 

 outside as soon as the soil is in good condition, in drills from 12 to 15 inches apart, and covered about an 

 inch deep; the plants are thinned to stand 4 or 5 inches apart in the rows. For winter crops, sow seed 

 in June, in drills, as for early Beets. An ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; five or six pounds, an acre.
