QUALITY BEETS 
Beets do best in deep sandy loam. If smooth 
roots are wanted, fresh manure must not be used. 
Sow about 12 seeds per foot % in. deep in drills 18 
in. apart, rolling the earth after planting. Thin to 
3 to 4 in. apart; to have supplies through the sea- 
son, plant every 10 days. To preserve for winter 
use store in cellars or pits, covering them with drv 
earth or sand topped with straw. All beets: pkt.,
