Choice Garden Beets 
One onuce will sow 50 feet of drill; 6 to 8 pounds per acre. 
CULTURE—For early table beets, have drills 16 to 2d inches apart, 
and sow the seed about one inch deep, as early, as the ground can be 
put in good shape. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the 
plants to stand 4 inches apart in the rows. For succession sow at inter¬ 
vals until middle of July. For the earliest sowing a light dressing of 
Vigoro; say 4 pounds per 100 square feet will! work wonders. 
Table beets should be grown in every garden as they* are produced 
with little effort and supply the table with greens as well as with 
excellent roots.
