CHOICE GARDEN BEETS 
CULTURE—The best soil suited for Beet Culture is a deep, rich, sandy loam, which should be loose and light. 
If wanted very early, sow in hot beds and transplant, cutting off the outer leaves. For general crop, sow as early 
as ground can be worked in drills a foot to 18 inches apart and 1 inch deep. When plants are large enough, thin 
out to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Continue sowing for a succession until late in June. For winter 
use, the Turnip varieties may be sown in July or August, pulled after the first frost, the tops removed and the 
roots stored in the pits or cellar. I oz. for 50 ft. row. 5 to 6 lbs. per acre.
