TABLE BEETS may be planted as early in the spring as the ground can be worked, since 
they can stand light frosts. A moist soil that is well drained suits beets to perfection. 
One ounce of beet seed will plant about 100 feet of row, and should be planted about 
one inch deep. The rows should be 16 to 20 inches apart, and the plants should be 
thinned out to stand 3 inches apart in the row. Beets may be stored for winter use 
with very little trouble by packing them in sand or loose soil in a cool cellar where 
they will not be touched by frost.
