A rather light soil, well enriched, is best suited to 
the cultivation of the various beets. The mangels and 
sugar beets in particular, require very liberal manur¬ 
ing. For an early crop of table beets, sow the seed as 
early as the ground is in condition to work; light 
frosts will not injure the young plants. For a main 
crop, sow the first of May; and for winter beets, the 
last of June. Sow in drills, 12 to 15 inches apart, and 
about one inch deep, pressing the earth firmly upon 
the seed,—a very important matter. Use about six 
pounds of seed per acre, 1 oz., 50 feet. Thin out when 
the plants are large enough. The varieties for table 
use should be left three or four inches apart.
