Maule*s Table Beets 



Culture: Seed for main crop may be sown in the early spring as soon as ground can be worked; later 

 sowings for continuous supply, every two or three weeks until July. Sow seed in rows 18 to 24 in. apart; 

 and cover 1 in. deep. Thin plants to stand 3 to 4 in. apart in the rows. The later sowings will produce 

 the best beets for winter storing. A packet will sow about 25 ft. of row; an ounce, 100 ft.; 5 to 6 lbs. 

 to an acre.

An all-purpose, all-season, uniform, deep red beet — a Maule Specialty 



Our strain has been carefully selected and improved each year. It is noted for its purity and merit. 

 Thousands of market growers and home gardeners have grown it to their profit and entire satisfaction, 

 and consider our enthusiasm mild in comparison to the outstanding features of this beet. It is an early 

 variety, with rich, dark red skin and short tops. The uniformity in size and shape is truly remarkable. 

 They are perfectly globe shaped and always smooth. The flesh is deep red witfi hardly any zone. It 

 retains the deep red color when cooked. The flesh is solid, tender, and most agreeably sweet. May be 

 grown for use in early spring, summer or fall; splendid for winter storing or for canning. Because of its 

 quickness of growth, it is especially suited for late scnvings: in fact, anyone wanting an all-season table beet 

 should sow Maule's Blood Turnip. Get your seeds from Maule.

70 Maule's Eariy Wonder (55 days) 



Also known as Boston Crosby. A choice selection from Crosby's Egyptian 



Early Wonder is the result of yearly selections made over a long period of time to perfect an early small 

 beet that would be considered the standard of excellence for all purposes. As we offer it today it seems 

 almost impossible to still further improve its appearance and splendid quality. It is the earliest of the 

 small table beets for outside growing. Roots are flat to globe in shape, beautiful deep red, and have 

 small tap-roots and medium-sized tops. It is possible to grow them quite close and thereby increase 

 the yield. It may be sown early; it matures early and is so uniform in growth that the harvesting of 

 the entire crop can be practically done at one time, thereby permitting the use of the ground for sorrtc 

 other planting. Equally desirable for home and market garden.
