BEETS. 
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 i 
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.
