CULTURE. Beets are sown where crop is to grow, in 
open ground, as soon as spring frosts are over, one inch 
deep in drills 12 to 15 inches apart, for convenience in 
hoeing; and young plants are thinned out, with a greater 
or less space between them, usually about four inches, ac¬ 
cording to size of variety grown. The thinnings from 
crop make excellent greens. They thrive in well enriched, 
moist soil, with plenty of sunshine. Growth will be great¬ 
ly stimulated with a slight application of Nitrate of Soda.
