Brack's Arlington Grown Crosby 
BEET 
(Beta vulgaris) 
German, “Runkel Rube.” — French, “Betterave.” — Spanish, 
“Beteraga” 
Any well-prepared, light garden soil will grow good 
beets. Successive plantings can he made from April 
until the middle of July. Sow in drills about one inch 
deep and 12 or 15 inches apart. The young plants are 
usually thinned to four inches apart in the row before 
they begin to crowd; many gardeners wait until the 
plants are six inches high so that those removed can 
be used for greens. One ounce of seed will sow 50 feet 
of drill.
