GARDEN BEETS 
1 Oz. to 50 Feet of Drill; 8 to 10 Lbs. to the Acre. 
CULTURE—One of the earliest vegetables the garden yields and one of 
the first to be sown. The soil should be loamy and fertile and well pulver¬ 
ized before seeding. Beets should be drilled in rows and covered about 1 
inch deep. The soil should be packed firmly after seed is covered. The 
rows should be 15 to 18 inches apart. After plants are up 3 inches, thin 
out to 3 inches apart. For an extra early supply, sow seeds in hotbeds or 
cold frames from February 15th to March 1st. To have a supply of fresh, 
tender young beets, sow every two weeks to July 15th.
