This recipe was extracted from The home cook book (1905) by Christine Frederick, page 100. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.
TO BOIL BEETS Wash the beets and cook till soft. The time for cooking is difficult to say. Sometimes when young and tender the beets will cook soft in an hour. Again they need four hours. And not cooked soft they are tasteless and indigestible, and should be tabooed. When cooked slip off the skin, slice and serve hot with butter spread upon them
