TABLE VARIETIES 
CULTURE. The ground for beets should be 
rich and well spaded. In this latitude beets are 
sown in April and May and from August until 
December. Some market gardeners sow them 
every month in the year. Seed should be 
soaked twelve hours before planting. This 
softens the seed germ and allows the seed 
germ to germinate quicker. Sow in drills and 
thin out. Do not plant too early.

Early Egyptian and the best known and most
