Culture. Space the rows 18 to 24 
inches apart. Work soil well and cover 
seed 1 inch deep. A rich sandy loam is 
preferable, but nearly all soils will pro- 
duce Beets if sufficiently fertilized and 
properly cultivated. When well started, 
thin plants to 3 to 4 inches apart. 
Beets are usually more tender and suc- 
culent when about 2 inches in diameter.

6 pounds to an acre.
