 Ohio Canner 



77 Crosby's Egyptian 



Medium Size Tops, Roots Flattened Globe Shape 

 Flesh Deep Red, Zoned Lighter 



(42 days) Our strain of this quality Beet 

 is a decided improvement on the older 

 forms of Egyptian and we claim tliere is 

 no better early garden Beet, as it in- 

 creases in size so rapidly. The roots are 

 larger and more globular though still 

 somewhat flattened at the top, represent- 

 ing more or less of a turnip shape. Tiie 

 skin is a very deep red and the flesii is 

 somewhat lighter in color. The foliage is 

 medium size so that by close planting the 

 yield from a given area can be con- 

 siderably increased. Market gardeners 

 will find this an ideal variety for bunch- 

 ing. Pkt. lOc; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 40c;

72 Ohio Canner 



Blood-Red Flesh with Few 



Zones. Retains its Color 



After Canning 



(60 days) This variety has been im- 

 proved principally for the purpose of 

 canning by the Oliio Agricultural Ex- 

 periment Station to evolve a Beet that 

 would meet the wants of the Canners, 

 and the result has been received with 

 great enthusiasm. It is also a most 

 valuable variety for home gardeners 

 and market growers who cater to a 

 select market. The shape of the Beets 

 is round or slightly flattened. The 

 foliage is reddish green and somewhat 

 smaller than that of Detroit Dark 

 Red. The very dark red skin is excep- 

 tionally smooth. The color of the flesh 

 is the darkest of any of this type show- 

 ing hardly any zones at all. This is a 

 Beet that will remain tender and sweet 

 all summer and well into the late fall. 

 Whether young or old, small or large, 

 they are "always tender and sweet.

 Maule's Alpha 



Beels are so easily raised, and 

 can be used in so many ways, 

 they should be grown in every 

 garden. 



Dark Crimson Color, Uniform Size 

 and Splendid Quality. Fine for 

 Home Garden and for Canning 



days) 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 size it stands close planting very well. Its 

 attractiveness and earliness have made it a great favorite with 

 many. It is undoubtedly one of the best Market Beets. 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.

 5 lbs. $5.50; 10 lbs. $10.00. 



70 EVIaule's Early Wonder 



Also Known as Boston Crosby. Early, Tender and Sweet; 



Dark Red Roots 

 (40 days) This early Beet is the result of yearly selection made 

 over a long period of time. As we offer it today it seems almost 

 impossible to still further improve its appearance and excellent 

 quality. It is probably the earliest of the small table beets for 

 outside growing. The roots are flat to globe in shape, of a 

 beautiful deep red color, and of medium size roots and tops. 

 This characteristic makes it possible to grow them quite close 

 and thereby increase the yield. Its most valuable points are — 

 that it is two weeks earlier than any other market Beet, and 

 that the roots mature all together; thus allowing the harvest- 

 ing of the entire crop at one time. Equally desirable for home 

 garden planting as for market. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 40c; 

 1/2 lb. 60c; lb. 95c; 2 lbs. $1.70; 5 lbs.;$4.05; 10 lbs. $7.10.
