BEETS—Table 
Plant 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill. Six to eight pounds per acre. 
Beets are easily grown and one of the profitable crops for the 
market grower. If desirable to be very early, they may be grown 
in the hotbed and transplanted, for which purpose I recommend 
either Crosby’s Egyptian op Early Wonder. Prepare your soil by 
manuring heavily and discing well before plowing, to make it easier 
to turn the manure under and thoroughly mix it with the soil. Har¬ 
row as soon as plowed, making a fine, well-settled seed bed. It is 
a great advantage to drag or float the land as this crushes all small 
clods and settles the surface well. Plant as early in the spring 
as the weather will permit. Beets will stand light frosts, but care 
must be taken, as a heavy frost would destroy them. The rows 
should be 16 to 20 inches apart and the seed planted from 1 to 1 % 
inches deep. Thin to 2 to 3 inches apart. Plant some thickly for 
greens. There are no better greens than small tender beets (tops 
and all). 
Table beets may be sown at intervals of four weeks until the 
latter part of June to have tender, even sized beets throughout the 
season from late summer until winter, the later planting being for 
siloing to use or sell during the winter. 
We make a specialty of beet seed and sell thousands of pounds 
each year.
