CULTURE: Beets will 
grow in any fertile soil 
| but thrive best in deep, 
‘ rich sandy loam. Seed 
may be sown in the 
early spring as soon 
as ground can be 
worked; later sowings 
for continuous supply, 
every two or three 
weeks until the middle 
of July. Sow seed in 
rows 18 to 24 inches 
apart and cover | inch 
deep. Thin plants to 
stand 3 to 4 inches 
apart in the rows. A 
packet will sow about 
25 feet of row; an 
ounce 100 feet; 5 to 6 
pounds to an acre.
