CULTURE. Best results are obtained on deep rich sandy loam but nearly all types of soil will 
produce a good crop if sufficiently fertilized and properly tilled. Sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart 
in well worked soil and cover about an inch deep. Thin to about 14 inch apart when the plants are 
an inch tall. When they have grown 5 to 6 inches, the alternate plants in the row may be pulled 
and used for greens. This can be repeated as often as the roots touch in the rows or until they 
reach a good table size. Beets are usually most tender and succulent when about two inches in 
diameter. By planting at intervals of two to three weeks until July, greens and beets will be sup- 
plied regularly until late fall. The roots from the later plantings may be stored and kept for winter 
use.
