RED BEETS 
One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill and should yield 100 
ounds 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 Winch deep at two-week 
itervals from early spring to mid-July. The ground should be 
spaded well and deep, placing rows about 12 inches apart. Cover 
the seed carefully and firm in the ground by walking over the 
drills. When seedlings appear about 3 inches above greund, thin 
out to about 3 inches between the plants so as to give ample 
room for the proper development of the rcots. Thinnings make 
excellent boiled greens. Beets are best for pulling 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 sk owing 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 excel/ent source of copper. 
The tops or greens are especially valuable, supplying vitamins 
A, Bi, C and G, along with calcium and iron, 
Crimson Globe. In about 70 days from 
planting, one-fourth of the Beets will be

home-garden sort. Flesh bright red with
