The soil best suited to the Beet, is a deep, light and rich loam. For very early crops, 
the seed is sown in hotbeds, and the seedlings are transplanted to the open ground. For 
main crop, the seed is sown outside as soon as the soil is in good condition, in drills from 
12 to 15 inches apart, and covered about an inch deep; the plants are thinned to stand 
4 or 5 inches apart in the rows. For winter crops, sow seed in June, in drills, as for early 
Beets. An ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; five or six pounds will sow an acre.
