PRICE’S VEGETABLE SEEDS 


SELECTED TABLE BEETS 
Beets should be sown early in the spring, as soon as the ground 
can be worked. Successive plantings may be made till the end of 
July. Beets thrive best in light, loose, deeply worked soil that has 
been enriched for a previous crop. Smooth roots cannot be grown 
if fresh manure is used. 
The seed should be sown thinly in drills from 1% to 1 inch in 
depth, leaving 12 inches or more between the rows to admit culti- 
vation. When well started, thin the plants to stand 3 to 4 inches 
apart in the row. One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill; 4 to 6 pounds 
are needed per acre in drills.
