CULTURE—Beets are sown where crop is to grow, In open ground, as 
soon as spring frosts are over, 1 inch deep in drills 12 to 15 inches 
apart, for convenience in hoeing; and young plants are thinned out, with 
a greater or less space between them, usually about 4 inches, according 
to size of variety grown. The thinnings from crop make excellent greens. 
They thrive in well enriched, moist soil, with plenty of sunshine. Growth 
will be greatly stimulated with a slight application of Nitrate of Soda.

and will mature a little later than main crop. 
Every farmer who has any stock whatever should plant at least a 
small acreage of Mangels. They grow on almost any kind of soil, but 
a rich, moist one is preferred. As they require but a short growing 
season it is better not to plant them too early but to wait until you can 
get the soil in good condition.
