BEET 



Seed should be sown at the rate of one ounce to 100 feet of 

 row. The rows should be spaced 18 to 24 inches apart. Work the 

 soil well and cover the seeds about an inch deep. A rich sandy 

 loam is most favorable, but nearly all types of soil will produce 

 beets if sufficiently fertilized and properly tilled. 



When the seedlings are about an inch tall it is well to thin 

 them to about one-half inch apart. When they have grown 5 or 

 6 inches, the alternate plants in the row may be pulled and used 

 for greens. This can be repeated as often as the roots touch in 

 the rows or until they reach good table size. Beets are usually 

 most tender and succulent when about 2 inches in diameter. 



By planting at intervals of two to three weeks until July, 

 greens and beets will be supplied regularly until late fall. The 

 roots from the later plantings may be stored and kept for 

 winter use. 



Note — In the following list we offer two distinct strains of 

 Crosby's Beet. They are alike in shape, but very different in 

 color. If you want the dark colored or Boston Crosby strain, 

 order it under the name of Crosby's Egyptian. If you want the 

 lighter or orange-red strain, ask for Ferry's Crosby.
