For very early crops, tlieseed of Crosby, orsome similar sort, is sown in hot- beds, and the seedlings are transplanted to the open ground as soon as it is warm enough. For main crop or early Beets, the seed is sown outside, as soon as the soil is in good condition, in drills from 12 to 24 inches apart, and covered about : inch deep ; the plants are thinned to stand 10 inches apart in the rows. For winter crops, sow seed in July, in drills as for early Beets, but the plants need not be thinned to stand more than 6 inches apart.
