BEETS ARE One of the profitable crops for the market grower. 
FA<sllY P ROWM desirable to be very early they may be grown in 
the hotbed and transplanted. Plant as early in the 
spring as the weather will nermit. Beets will stand 
light frosts, but care must be taken, as a heavy frost would destroy 
them. The rows should be 16 to 20 inches apart and the seed planted 
from 1 to IY 2 inches deep. Thin to 2 to 3 inches apart. Plant some 
thickly for greens. 
There are no better greens 
than small, tender beets 
(tops and all). Table beets 
may be sown at intervals 
of four weeks until the lat¬ 
ter part of June to have 
tender, even-sized beets 
throughout the season from 
late summer until winter, 
the later planting being for 
siloing to use or sell during 
the winter.
