Sow seeds as early in the spring as the ground can be worked. P'or 
a continuous supply make sowings 3 to 4 weeks apart up to the 
end of July. Sow seed in rows IK to 2 ft. apart and cover 1 in. 
deep. Thin plants to stand 3 to 4 in. apart in the row. The later 
sowings will produce the best Beets for winter storing. Gather 
the roots with the approach of cold weather and keep in a cool 
cellar, packing them in slightly moist earth. 
Use one oz. of seed for 100 ft. of row; 4 to 6 lbs. for an acre. The 
early varieties mature in 48 to 55 days; the midseason and late 
varieties require 60 to 70 days.
