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 as 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.
