BEETS 
ARE EASILY GROWN 
One of the profitable crops for the 
market grower. If desirable, to be 
very early, they may be grown in 
the hotbed and transplanted. Plant 
as early in the spring as the weather 
will permit. Beets will stand light 
frost, but care must be taken, as a 
heavy frost will destroy them. The 
rows should be 16 to 20 inches 
apart and seed planted from 1 to 
1% inches deep. Thin to 2 to 3 
inches apart. Plant some thickly 
for greens. For fertilizer, we rec- 
ommend Vigoro. 
Plant 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill. Ten 
pounds will sow an acre in 18 inch 
TOWS.
