HOW TO GROW THEM. Sow the 
seed as soon as the ground can be 
properly worked. Make the rows 12 
inches apart for hand cultivation: cover 
the seed 1 inch; thin out the plants to stand 3 to 4 inches in 
the row; cultivate often; keep clean of weeds. Successive plantings 
may be made every 3 weeks until August 1. You will have Beets all 
summer, with the last crop for winter use. At this last planting put 
out all you can to provide for your own use, for canning, and for 
selling all winter. This is one of the important crops so necessary 
to provide for winter vegetables. Beets require just 50 days from 
planting of the seed to harvest for early varieties and from 60 to 70 
and 80 days for the later varieties. One ounce will sow a row of 50 
feet; 5 to 6 pounds to the acre.
