Beets are grown in every garden, and are used 
in all stages of their growth. The soil should be 
rich, mellow and deep. They are among the first 
vegetables to be sown in the spring, Sow the seed 
quite thickly in drills one foot apart and two 
inches deep. When the beets are beginning to 
form they can be thinned out and used as "beet 
greens." If a heavy rain should fall soon afler 
sowing the seed, and the surface of the ground 
become crusted over, (he 
ground must be raked 
lightly with a steel gar- .-■.;»' ■ "-' 
den rake, break the crust £•/ 
>:er the seed. If this [r, 
not done the young fi 
! sprouts may not be able 
J to push up through the 
' cruat on the surface. 
From this cause seed 
sometimes fails to come 
up, and the sower thinks 
his seed was bad, when 
the trouble was not in the 
vitality of the seed but 
in the experience of the
