How to Grow BEETS 
Sow seeds as early in the spring as the ground can be 
- worked. For a continuous supply make additional sow- 
ings when the preceding planting is. up and growing; 
allow plenty of time for the last sowing to mature before 
frost. Sow seed in rows 1% to 2 ft. apart and cover with 
1 in. of fine soil. A rich, sandy loam, mellow and deep, 

produces the best shaped and smoothest roots. Thin 
plants to stand 3 to 4 in. apart in the row. The later 
sowings will produce the best beets for winter storing. 
Dig the roots with the approach of cold weather and 
keep in a cool cellar, packing them in slightly moist 
earth until ready to use throughout the winter months. 
A pkt. of seed will sow 25 ft. of row; one oz. 100 ft.
