One ounce will drill 100 feet of row; 10 lbs. per | 
acre. Will grow in any fairly good non-acid soil if 
properly fertilized. A sandy loam is ideal. Soil 
should be well worked. If smooth roots are wanted 
fresh manure is not to be desired. Sow about 12 
seeds per foot, %" deep, in drills 18" apart. Roll 
earth after planting. Plants should be thinned to 
3”_4” apart when 2” high or may be left until they 
reach 6” when the thinnings may be used for 
greens. Plant every 10 days for seasonal use. 
Beets are best when about the size of a silver 
half-dollar. May be kept for winter use by storing 
in cellar or pits, covered with dry earth, topped 
with straw. Plant in the early spring, as soon as 
the ground is in tillable condition or in the sum- 
mer for winter use.
