81 MAULE*S DARK RED EGYPTIAN BEET« 



A popular extra early beet with sweet, dark red flesh (48 days) 



No other beet can replace this well-estabHshed variety for earHness. Under 

 favorable conditions the roots grow quickly and reach full size in an astonish- 

 ingly short time. A favorite with 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. Its 

 quality, attractiveness, uniformity, and the dark red color of the flesh are 

 characteristics that will appeal to many gardeners. Cooks sweet, tender, and 

 crisp, retaining its bright red color which also makes it very desirable for pickling.

77 Crosby's Egyptian (55 days) ^ 



Tender and sweet, excellent all-purpose early beet for table or market 



Our strain of this quality beet is a decided improvement on the older forms of Egyptian and we claim 

 there is no better early garden beet, as it becomes ready for use so quickly. Beets are large, nearly 

 round but somewhat flattened at the top. smooth, slender tap-root and medium tops. The skin is a 

 very deep red and the flesh is also deep red zoned with a somewhat lighter shade. The foliage, being 

 medium size, permits close planting so tliat the yield from a given area can be considerably increased.

72 Ohio Canner (55 days) 



Blood-red flesh with few zones 



While this beet had been selected as one especially suitable for canning, it has proved a most valuable 

 variety for table use. The shape varies a little: some are almost round, others slightly flattened. The 

 foliage is reddish green and somewhat smaller than that of Detroit Dark Red. The very dark red skin 

 is exceptionally smooth. The color of the flesh is the darkest of any of this type, showing hardly any 

 2ones at all. Remains tender and sweet, whether young or old, small or large. 



Pkt. 10«!; oz. 15^; V4 lb. 40^; 1/2 lb. 60^; lb. $1.00; 2 lbs. $1.85; 5 lbs. $4.40. 



67 Maule's Alpha (55 days) ^ 



Dark crimson, turnip shaped 



We regard this as an exceptionally fine beet with large roots of even size and splendid quality. Its 

 shape is that of a turnip; just a little deeper than Crosby's Egyptian. The flesh is dark crimson with 

 slightly lighter zones or rings. As the top growth is medium, it will stand close planting. Its attrac- 

 tiveness and earliness have made it a gre^ favorite for early table or market use. When cooked it has 

 a rich, sweet flavor and is entirely free from any fiber or toughness.

68 Good for All (55 days) 



Globe shaped, smooth, deep crimson 



Well named, as it is equally good for table, pickling or canning. May be used at all stages of its growth 

 but especially fine for canning and pickling whole when 1 ^X in. in diameter. Even if left until full grown, 

 they will hold their color, shape and quality. Beets are almost globular, very smooth and uniform in 

 shape and size; flesh is deep blood-red with practically no zones, fine-grained, sweet and crisp. Tops 

 are short and quite spreading. Equally desirable for market or home.
