The growing of Beets constitutes an important 
commercial trucking industry in the South. Beets 
are also a good home-garden vegetable. The young 
plants are considered to be superior to spinach and 
turnips for greens. Reuter’s Beet Seed is carefully- 
bred and selected to produce smooth, uniform, beauti¬ 
fully formed, and attractive blood-red Beets of the 
finest quality. 
Culture. First plantings are made 
during August and September. Space 
the rows 18 to 24 inches apart. Work 
soil well and cover seed 1 inch deep. 
A rich sandy loam is preferable, but 
nearly all soils will produce Beets if 
sufficiently fertilized and properly cul¬ 
tivated. When well started, thin plants 
to 3 to 4 inches apart. One ounce will 
sow 50 feet of row; 5 to 6 pounds to 
an acre.
