The whole horticultural world recognizes the 
value of an extra early table beet, and there is 
a place in everybody’s garden for a sort - 
bining high quality and early maturity. | 
have such a beet, and wishtc make its merits 
widely known. 
The New Unnamed Beet is ready for m¢ 
in 40 to 45 days from date of sowing. Itis a 
I call a finely made up beet, as shown in the 
illustration. It is turnip shape, with a disposi- 
| tion to deepen to the half-long type; though by 
no means a half-long beet. Deeper than Cros- 
by’s Egpytian with more body and more value. 
The flesh of the New Unnamed Beet is of a 
dark crimson color, with lighter rings, and is 
handsome in appearance, becoming solid crim- 
son when cooked. The top is small, which 
| favors close planting, though this beet, com- 
mon with all others, matures most quickly 
when given plenty of room—say four or five 
| inches in the row. Itis a good plan to give the 
| beets in row, or part of a row, extra wide space, 
as a week or more can easily be saved in this 
| manner. 
The New Unnamed Beet has a rich, sweet 
flavor when cooked, and is tender and free from 
fibre or toughness. It is in fact, by all odds 
the best extra early table or market beet within 
my knowledge,even excelling Maule’s Dark Red 
Egyptian in earliness. 
I want a name for this beet; a name worthy of 
it; aname that willin part define its character
