REMEMBER 
1 quart of Beans is equal to approximately 2 pounds 
Culture. Fibrous loam, well 
drained and well enriched, will 
raise good Beet crops. For early 
table Beets, have drills 16 to 20 
inches apart, and sow the seed 
about 1 inch deep, as early as the 
ground can be put in good shape. 
Or seed may be sown under glass 
four weeks sooner, and the young 
seedlings transplanted to open 
ground to give an extra early 
crop. Give thorough and clean 
cultivation, and thin the plants 
to stand 3 and 4 inches apart in 
the rows.
