  Edmand's 
  Blood 
  Turnip 
  Beet. 
  A 
  handsome, 
  clean, 
  turnip-shaped 
  blood 
  

   beet. 
  Skin 
  and 
  flesh 
  are 
  of 
  a 
  deep 
  blood 
  red, 
  sw^eet 
  and 
  tender 
  in 
  quality, 
  and 
  

   unsurpassed 
  for 
  solidity 
  and 
  keeping 
  purposes. 
  The 
  roots 
  grow 
  regular 
  and 
  are 
  

   of 
  right 
  marketable 
  size. 
  Tops 
  are 
  small, 
  allowing 
  them 
  to 
  be 
  grown 
  close 
  

   together. 
  They 
  mature 
  early 
  and 
  give 
  every 
  satisfaction 
  as 
  a 
  bunching 
  sort.
