CHOICE GARDEN BEETS 
CULTIJE—The best soil suited for Beet Culture is a deep, rich, sandy loam which should be loose and 
light. If wanted very early, sow in hot beds and transplant, cutting off the outer leaves. For general crop, 
sow as early as ground can be worked in drills a foot to 18 inches apart and 1 inch deep. When plants are 
large enough, thin out to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. Continue sowing for a succession until late in 
June. For winter use, the Turnip varieties may be sown in July or August, pulled after the first frost, and 
tops removed and the roots stored in the pits or cellar. 1 oz. for 50 ft. row. 5 to 6 lbs. per acre.
