BEETS 



One Ounce of Seed Will Sow One Hundred Feet of Drill 



Select a deep, rich sandy loam and manure with well decomposed compost or a good chemical fertilizer. Sow in drills, 14 

 to 16 inches apart, and cover 1 inch deep. When the young- plants appear, thin to 4 or 5 inches apart. For early use, sow a& 

 soon as the ground can be worked in the spring; for autumn use, about the middle of May, and for winter use, during June 

 or July, according to the variety — the long varieties requiring more time to mature than the round, early kinds.

MANGEL WURZEL BEETS FOR STOCK 



SOW 4 POUNDS TO THE ACRE. 



Stock Beets grow larger than any other Beets, and hence require more room. They 

 should be sown from April to June, in drills 2 y 2 feet apart, and the plants thinned to 12 to lb 

 inches in the row. The attention of farmers to the growing of Beets for stock feeding has 

 rapidly increased, but it should be grown more generally, and will show the results in the 

 health and condition of the stock. It supplies good, rich food for cattle during the winter.
