n Maulers Market King Beet 



The best for winter l^eeping 



Market King is a quick grower and soon reaches maturity; 

 one of the best main crop beets. An excellent winter keeper. The

 the market stall, where a symmetrical shaped beet is wanted. 



On the points of flavor and table quality, we would lay 

 especial emphasis, for it is an ideal beet for household use. It 

 can be used at all stages of growth, ready for use in about 65 

 days, and it is almost needless to say that a sweet and succu- 

 lent half long blood beet like this is sure to become a favorite.
