RED BEETS 
One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill and should yield 100 Ibs. 
or more of roots. Allow 5 to 6 pounds of seed per acre. Ready 
in from 8 to 11 weeks. 
THEY ARE EASY TO GROW and pay well for the space 
they occupy. Seed may be sown a baltvaeh deep at two-week 
intervals from eariy spring to mid-July. The ground should be 
spaded well and deep, placing rows about 12 inches apart. Cover 
the seed carefully and firm m the ground by walking over the 
drills. When seedlings appear about 3 inches above ground, thin 
out to about 3 inches between the plants so as to give ample 
room for the proper development of the roots. Thinnings make 
excellent boiled greens. Beets are best for pullmg when about 
2 inches in size. 
A few seeds of Radish sown in with the Beets will come through 
first, marking clearly the row and showing you where to start 
hoeing. Pull Radishes when they are mature; your crop of Beets 
will not be reduced by this two-kinds-in-one-row scheme. 
Beets may be kept for winter use in boxes of sand in a cool 
cellar, or in a pit outdoors. Or they may be preserved or pickled. 
Beets are nourishing and are an excellent source of copper. 
The tops or greens are especially valuable, supplying vitamins 
A, Bi, C and G, along with calcium and iron,
