Maule’s Dark Red Egyptian 
77 Crosby’s Egyptian % 
Tender and sweet (50 days) 
Our strain of this quality beet is a decided 
improvement on the older forms of Egyp- 
tian 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 that the yield 
from a given area can be considerably 
increased. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 20¢; 14 Ib. 70¢; 
lf Ib. $1.30; Ib. $2.35; 2 Ibs. $4.50. 
67 Maule’s Alpha 
Dark crimson, turnip-shaped (55 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, it will stand close planting. Its 
attractiveness and earliness have made it 
a great favorite for early table or market 
use. When cooked it has a rich, sweet 
flavor and is entirely free from any fiber or 
toughness. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 25¢; 1/4 lb. 85¢3

very uniform. The foliage is reddish green 
and somewhat smaller than that of Detroit 
Dark Red. The very dark red skin is ex- 
ceptionally smooth. The color of the flesh
