BEETS 
FOR TABLE AND FARM 
Beets are divided into three classes — TABLE, MANOETja 
or STOCK-FEEDING, and SUGAR. 
For table use the seed can be sown in California any time after January 
1st, and a light sandy loam is preferable for good shaped roots of good 
color. The soil must be rich and moist to get a quick growth, which is 
essential to crisp, tender flesh. Sow in rows 12 to 18 inches apart and thin 
by using the small beets for greens until they stand 3 to 4 inches in the row.
