THE BEST GARDEN 



BEETS (Satatriiben) 



The best soil suited for the Beet is a deep, light and rich lcam. 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.

 value for feeding to cows, as they greatly increase the flow of milk. The seed should be 

 dropped about 2 inches apart, in drills 2 feet apart, and the plants thinned so that there 

 will be 12 to 16 inches between them. From five to eight pounds of seed are required to 

 sow an acre.
