Extremely Early, Deep Red, Tender and Sweet 
This wonderful early beet is the result of years’ reselect- 
ing and improving, and is now so perfected that we believe it 
is one of the earliest and best turnip shaped beets grown. 
[t is much earlier than Crosby’s Egyptian, maturing in about 
10 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 bunching; a desir- 
able early sort for the home garden as well as for market.
