GARDEN or TABLE BEETS 
Beets, like beans, possess great food-value and are easily grown. Extensive plantings should be made to 
provide for summer and winter use. Sow as early as the ground can be worked, in rich or well-manured 
garden soil which has been deeply plowed or spaded. Sow in drills ^ to 1 inch in depth, allowing a space of 
18 inches between rows for cultivation. Successive sowings can be made until July. During the summer it is 
advisable to soak the seed over night in water before planting. Sow rather 
thickly and when plants are 2 to 3 inches high, thin out to 4 or 5 inches 
between plants. The young plants which you take out need not be wasted; 
they are, in fact, superior to spinach for greens. The varieties we offer are 
greatly improved and will produce fine smooth roots of excellent quahty.
