An important commercial truck crop in the South. Beets are also a 
sood home-garden vegetable. The young plants are considered to be 
‘superior to spinach and turnips for greens.. Reuter’s Beet Seed is 
carefully bred and selected to produce smooth, uniform, beautifully 
formed, and attractive blood-red Beets of the finest quality. 
Culture. 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 produce Beets if sufficiently fertilized and properly cultivated. 
When well started, thin plants to 3 to 4 inches apart. Beets are usu- 
ially 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.
