BEET. (Runkel Rule.) One ounce will sow fifty feet of drill; five to six pounds to an acre. The soil best suited for Beet culture is that which is rather light and well enriched. Sow in drills one foot apart and one inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked; when the plants are large enough thin out to stand six inches apart in rows; continue for a succession as late as the % middle of July. Keep well cultivated. To preserve Beets during the winter select a dry piece of ground and put about twenty bushels in a pile, covering with sufficient earth to keep out the frost. TABLE VARIETIES.
