BEETS 
Light, well-fertilized loam is best for 
growing Beets. Successive plantings at 
two-week intervals are preferable, using an 
ounce of seed for a 50-foot row, and 6 to 8 
pounds for an acre. Sow in rows 14 feet 
apart, and when the plants are about 2 
inches high, thin to 3 inches apart. Beet 
tops are among the most vitamin-rich 
products of the whole vegetable garden. 
For winter storage, late Beets may be 
packed in moist soil in a cool cellar.
