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 16 inches apart, and covered 
about an inch deep ; the plants are thinned to stand 4 or 5 inches apart in the rows. jFor 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.
