Plant More Beets — They are Rich in Vitamin C 
Quality Cable Beets 
Well enriched, light soil is best adapted for Beet culture. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and cover ¥2 inch. It is im- 
portant that the earth be pressed firmly about the seed. When the plants are large enough, thin to 4 inches apart. 
The thinnings can be used for greens, if desired. For early, sow as soon as the ground can be worked, and con- 
tinue for succession until the first of July.. Mangels and Sugar Beets require liberal manuring and should stand 10 
to 12 inches apart in the rows. 

One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill, 5 to 6 pounds to one acre.
