BEETS Remolacha, Sp. Ruhe, Ger. One ounce Yill sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds for an acre CULTURE.—Fibrous loam, well drained and well enriched, will raise good Beet crops. For early table Beets, have drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and sow the seed about 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be put in good shape. Or seed may be sown under glass four weeks sooner, and the young seedlings transplanted to open ground, to give an extra early crop. Give thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants to stand 3 and 4 inches apart in the rows. For succession sow at intervals until middle of July. For the earliest sowings a light dressing of nitrate of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders. Dreer's Excelsior Blood.
