BEETS 
Sow seed as early in the spring as possible, in drills 15 to 18 
inches apart, covering about 1 inch deep, and thin the plants to 
2 to 3 inches apart. Plantings every three weeks until mid-July 
will furnish a supply of fresh Beets until late fall. Late in June 
make a large planting to produce Beets for winter use. Harvest 
before frost and store in pits outdoors, or in a dry cellar. For an 
extra-early crop start the seed under glass. 
An ounce of seed will sow about 100 feet of drill; 6 pounds an acre
