 Blood Turnip Beet * 



The Most Uniform, Deepest Red Beet in Existence. 

 Tender, Productive, and Exceedingly Sweet (50 days) 



This beet is miles ahead of any other variety ever offered any- 

 where. That is a strong claim, but thousands of market growers 

 and home gardeners will substantiate this claim, and consider our 

 enthusiasm mild in comparison to the outstanding features of 

 this beet. It is an early variety with a rich dark red skin. The 

 uniformity in size and shape is truly remarkable. They are 

 perfectly globe-shaped and always smooth. The flesh is deep 

 red with hardly any zone. It retains the deep red color when 

 cooked. The flesh is fine grained, tender, and most agreeably 

 sweet. It may be grown for early spring use, for summer, fall, or 

 winter storing, or for canning. It has our unqualified endorse- 

 ment for all purposes. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; V& lb- 50c; 

 V 2 lb. 80c; lb. $1.35; 2 lbs. $2.50; 5 lbs. $5.95; 10 lbs. $10.80.

CULTURE: Sow the seed thinly in drills 18 in. apart and carefully thin 

 the plants to stand 3 to 4 in. in the row. The round and turnip-shaped 

 varieties are grown moBtly for spring and summer use, though they are 

 also excellent for fall and winter storing. The half-long kinds require a 

 longer growing season and are known as good winter keepers. For a 

 continuous supply of fresh roots, sow repeatedly from spring until mid- 

 summer. A packet of seed is enough for 25 ft. of row; one ounce for 

 100 ft. ; 5 to 6 lbs. per acre.

A Wonderful Extra-Early Table Beet (35 days) fp 



No other beet can replace this well established variety for earliness. 

 Under favorable conditions the roots grow quickly and reach full size 

 within the astonishingly short period of 35 days. This characteristic of 

 quick growth has made Maule's Dark Red Egyptian a favorite variety with 

 many market growers who plant it extensively for forcing to supply the 

 early market. As the roots are of medium size and have only a limited 

 amount of foliage they can stand quite close planting which, in turn, 

 means increased yields from the land available. 



The compactness of the plant is only one of the features that has made 

 it valuable for growing under glass. Tts quality, attractiveness, uniform- 

 ity, and the dark red color of the flesh are characteristics that will appeal 

 to many gardeners. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 30c; Vz lb. 50c; lb. 85c;
