spinach and turnips for greens. Reuter’s

formed, and attractive blood-red Beets

Space the rows 18 to 24 
inches apart. Work soil well and cover 
seed 1 inch deep. A rich sandy loam is 
preferable, but nearly all soils will pro- 
duce Beets if sufficiently fertilized and 
properly cultivated. When well started, 
thin plants to 3 to 4 inches apart. Beets 
are usually more tender and succulent 
when about 2 inches in diameter. One 
ounce will sow 50 feet of row; 5 to 6 
pounds to an acre.
