Selected Vegetable Seeds 
Table Beets 
Seed should be sown at the rate of one ounce to 1 00 feet 
of row. The rows should be spaced 18 to 24 inches apart. 
Work the soil well and cover the seeds about an inch deep. 
A rich sandy loam is most favorable, but nearly all types of 
soil will produce beets if sufficiently fertilized and properly 
tilled. 
When the seedlings are about an inch tall it is well to 
thin them to about one-half inch apart.
