77 Crosby's Egyptian Beet $ 



A Standard Beet, Popular Everywhere (42 days) 

 Our strain of this quality beet is a decided improvement on the older forms of Egyp- 

 tian beet. The roots are larger and more globular though still somewhat flattened at 

 the top, representing more or less of a turnip shape. The skin is a very deep red and 

 the flesh is somewhat lighter in color. The foliage is quite short so that by close 

 planting the vield from a given area can be considerably increased. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 15c; V 4 lb. 30c; »/ 2 lb. 50c; lb. 85c; 2 lbs. $1.55; 5 lbs. $3.60; 10 lbs. $6.35. 



91 Edmand's Early Turnip 

 Beet 



A Good Main Crop Variety (42 days) 



Certain gardeners swear by this excellent, quickly 

 maturing variety. It is indeed a most desirable 

 turnip-shaped beet with deep blood-red skin and 

 flesh. It has a short top which makes close planting 

 possible. The roots are almost round and at times 

 taper off at the base into more of a turnip shape. 

 The flesh is bright purplish red showing a little 

 zoning of a somewhat lighter color. It has estab- 

 lished itself firmly in certain market-growing sec- 

 tions, and it is also highly valued by many home 

 gardeners who appreciate its fine, tender-grained 

 flesh and rich sweetness. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 

 Vi lb. 30c; Vi lb. 45c; lb. 75c; 2 lbs. $1.35;

Beet $ 



Known as the Best 



Early Beet For the 



Table or Market 



(40 days) 



We regard this as an excep- 

 tionally fine beet with large 

 roots of even size and splen- 

 did quality. Its shape is that 

 of a turnip; just a little 

 deeper than Crosby's Egyp- 

 tian. The flesh is dark crim- 

 son with slightly lighter zones 

 or rings. As the top growth is 

 small it stands close planting 

 very well. Its attractiveness 

 and earliness have made it a 

 great favorite with many. 



When cooked it has a rich sweet flavor and it is 



entirely free from any fiber or toughness. 



Equally fine for immediate use or for canning.
