 65 days, and it is almost needless to say that a sweet and 

 succulent half long blood beet like this is sure to become a 

 favorite. An excellent Market Gardener's basket beet.

* 70 Maule's Early Wonder 



40 days. Extremely Early, Deep Red, Tender and Sweet 



This wonderful early beet is the result of years' reselecting 

 and improving, and is no^v so perfected that we believe it is 

 one of the earliest and best turnip-shaped beets grown. It is 

 much earlier than Crosby's Egyptian, maturing in about 40 

 days, of perfect shape and beautiful, deep red color. The tops 

 are not quite as large as Crosby's Egyptian, which permits 

 close planting and is excellent for bundling; a desirable early 

 sort for the home garden as well as for market.

 tivation for home use or for market gardeners. Makes a very 

 rapid growth from the start, often larger than Egyptian age

 heavy root for winter use. Only one sowing is necessary to 

 produce early beets for the table and a main crop for winter 

 use. It is a good keeper and may be used all winter. When 

 cooked, it is dark red in color, and of unsurpassed table 

 quality. Fit for use in 55 days. An all seasons table beet 

 for all purposes.
