 beet of medium size vvhicli 

 received its name from 

 the uniform globe shape 

 of the roots. It is entirely 

 free Irom rootlets which 

 enhances the good appear- 

 ance of the roots. For a 

 second early variety it is 

 hard to beat. The foliage 

 is small which makes it 

 suitable for forcing under 

 glass. The flesh is rich 

 blood-red with somewhat 

 lighter zones. Always at 

 its best either when young 

 or old. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c;

A Highly Bred, Globe Shaped 

 Beet for Home or Market 



(.SO days) We offer a special strain of 

 this famous home garden and market 

 grower's beet. It excels in uniformity of 

 size, shape, and color, being suited for 

 home use, market sales, storing, ship- 

 ping, and canning. The roots are of 

 medium size, smooth, perfectly globe 

 shaped, and of generally good appear- 

 ance. The color of the flesh is a most in- 

 tense deep red, showing no signs of any 

 zones after cooking. It remains tender 

 throughout and free from fiber until 

 fully grown. A steady demand from the 

 same people year after year is proof 

 that this is the beet to grow. Our seed 

 will produce uniform fruits that excel 

 in color and firmness as well as in 

 quality. The tops are small, which not 

 only permits close planting but makes 

 it ideal for bunching. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. M)c; 'A lb. 50c; 

 lb. 85c; 2 lbs. $1.55; 5 lbs. $.^.60;

Fine for Home Garden 



and For Canning 



(40 days) 



We regard this as an excep- 

 tionally fine beet with large 

 roots of even size and splen- 

 did quality. Its shape is that 

 of a turnip; just a little 

 deeper than Crosby's Egyp- 

 tian. The flesh is dark crim- 

 son with slightly lighter zones 

 or rings. As the top growth is 

 small it stands close planting 

 very well. Its attractiveness 

 and earliness have made it a 

 great favorite with many. It 



is undoubtedly one of ihe 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.

Dark Red Flesh 



(40 days) No other beet can 

 replace this well established 

 variety for earliness. Under 

 favorable conditions the roots 

 grovi' quic^jly and reach full 

 size in an astonishingly short 

 time. This characteristic of 

 quick growth has made Maule's 

 Dark Red Egyptian a favorite 

 variety with many market 

 growers who plant it exten- 

 sively for forcing to supply the 

 early market. As the roots are 

 of medium size and have only a 

 limited amount of foliage, they 

 can stand quite close planting 

 which, in turn, means in- 

 creased yields from the land 

 available. The compactness of the plant 

 is only one of the features that has made 

 it valuable for growing under glass. Its 

 quality, attractiveness, uniformity, and 

 the dark red color of the flesh are 

 characteristics that will appeal to many 

 gardeners. Cooks sweet, tender, and 

 crisp, retaining its bright red color nicely 

 and is very desirable for pickling. On ac- 

 count of its extremely early maturitj', 

 two crops can often be harvested in one 

 season on the same piece of land. You 

 will find a ready sale for any surplus you 

 mav raise. Pkt, 10c; oz. 15c; V4 lb. 30c;

(35 to 65 days) Those who want just a row or two 

 of beets for their own use and want their crops
