290. Perfected Detroit Beet 



BEETS 



One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 

 6 to 7 pounds, an acre 



Beet tops have unusually high food value, 

 being rich in vitamins A and C and ranking 

 high as suppliers of calcium and iron. Save 

 all your Beet tops, especially the little ones 

 pulled out in thinning; they make delicious 

 cooked greens. 



Culture. Beets do best in fairly light, 

 well-enriched soil which is kept well cul- 

 tivated during the season. Sow in drills 1 

 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as early as the 

 ground can be worked, and for a succession 

 continue sowing up to the middle of August. 

 When 3 inches tall thin out to stand 4 inches 

 apart. 



Late Beets can be kept for winter use by 

 packing the roots in slightly moist earth in 

 a cool cellar.
