BEETS 
_ Sow seed as early in the spring as possible, in drills 15 to 18 
inches apart, covering about 1 inch deep, and thin the plants to 
2 to 3 inches apart. Plantings every three weeks until mid-July 
will furnish a supply of fresh Beets until late fall. Late in June 
make a large planting to produce Beets for winter use. Harvest 
before frost and store in pits outdoors, or in a dry cellar. For an 
extra-early crop start the seed under glass. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 50 feet of drill; 6 pounds an acre

CHICORY 
The Large-rooted variety is grown for its roots, which may 
be cooked and served like turnips. 
The Witloof variety is highly esteemed as a winter salad, for 
which purpose the plants are taken up in the fall, cut back nearly 
to the top of the root, and then covered with soil in a box or 
trench in a warm cellar. The new leaves which grow from the 
old roots in about a month’s time are nearly white, crisp and 
of a fine, piquant flavor. Sow Chicory seed in April or May, 
in shallow drills, and thin the plants to stand 4 to 6 inches apart.
