BEETS 
Time to Plant—Sow quite early in the Spring (about April 20) 
and at intervals, from then until about July 25. 
Soil Preparation—A light, rich soil is best. Do not use fresh 
manure for it will cause the roots to become scabby. Old, well rotted 
manure well mixed with the soil is excellent; also a standard vege- 
table fertilizer with a high potash content.
