* 67 Maule's Alpha 



Best Extra Early Beet for Table or Market. 40 days 



Maule's Alpha beet is ready for market in 40 days from date 

 of sowing. It is what we call a finely made-up beet, as shown 

 in the illustration. It is turnip shaped; a little deeper than 

 Crosby's Egyptian, with more body and more value. The flesh 

 is of a dark crimson color, and is handsome in appearance. 

 The top is small, which favors close planting. It has a rich, 

 sweet flavor when cooked, and is tender and free from fibre 

 or toughness. It is in fact, undoubtedly, one of the best early 

 table or market beets within our knowledge. Maule's Alpha 

 beet is worthy of universal trial by gardeners. It is good for 

 the table and good for market, and will at once win public 

 favor by reason of its earliness and its excellence.
