SELECTED Y EC ETA DLL SEEDS 
Table Beets 
Seed should be sown at the rate of one ounce to 100 feet 
of row. Tht* rows should be spaced 18 to 24 inches apart. Work 
the soil well and cover the seeds about an inch deep. A. rich 
sandy loam is most favorable, but nearly all types of soil will 
produce beets if sufficiently fertilized and properly tilled.

them to about one-half inch apart.
