Beets 
GROW YOUR OWN BEETS— Root crops give 
more food value for the space occupied than any 
other vegetable. Beets are the most popular of all 
root crops. Beets may be stored for winter use. Best 
of all, the small beets pulled and used soon after, are 
much sweeter and more tender than any you could 
buy. Try some buttered tender baby beets from yotir 
own garden this year. Make at least two plantings 
of beets so that you have plenty for early use and 
for winter storage as well.
