Culture. Fibrous loam, well drained and well enriched, will raise good Beet crop. 

 For early table Beets, have drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and sow the seed about 1 inch 

 deep, as early as the ground can be put in good shape, or seed may be sown under glass 

 4 weeks sooner and the young seedlings transplanted to open ground, to give an extra 

 early crop. 



Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants to stand 2 inches apart 

 in the row. 



For succe.ssion, sow at intervals to middle of' July. For earliest sowings, a light 

 dressing of nitrate of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders.
