‘TABLE BEET 
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.

for home and garden use. The roots are seven to 
eight and a half inches in length, and one and 
three-fourths to two inches in diameter. They 
are smooth and uniformly tapered to a semi- 
blunt end. The flesh is a rich orange color with 
an indistinct core, fine grained and of the best 
quality. The tops are medium, and well suited for 
bunching. As soon as the soil can be worked, car- 
rots should be planted in rows not less than 12 
inches apart. A quarter ounce of seed will sow 
100 feet of row, and three pounds will sow an 
acre. The seed should be covered about one- 
half inch deep, and the plants thinned to stand 
two to three inches apart. Successive plantings 
can be made every two weeks until midsummer. 
Carrots may be easily stored for winter use in 
the same manner as beets.
