Maulers Best Table Beets 



Culture: For earliest use and market, sow seed of any round sort under glass, 

 in February or March, and transplant to open ground in March or April. Seed 

 for main crop may be sown in the early spring as soon as ground can be 

 worked. For table beets sow in drills 18 inches apart, and thin to stand 3 to 4 

 inches apart in the rows. A packet will sow a row about 25 feet long; use 

 1 ounce to 100 feet; 5 to 6 lbs. per acre. The round and turnip shaped beets 

 are best for spring and summer; the half-long kinds for winter. Make succes- 

 sional plantings and cultivate freely. Beet tops are much used for greens, 

 being cooked like spinach.

The Most Uniform, Deepest Red Beet in Existence. 

 Tender, Productive, and Exceedingly Sweet 



This Beet is miles ahead of any other variety ever offered anywhere. That is a strong claim, 

 but thousands of market growers and home gardeners will substantiate this claim, and 

 consider our enthusiasm mild in comparison to the outstandin features of this Feet. 

 It is an eariy variety with a rich, dark red skin and short tops. The uniformity in size and 

 shape is truly remarkable. They are perfectly globe shaped and always smooth. The 

 flesh is deep red with hardly any zone. It retains the deep red color when cooked. The 

 flesh is fine grained, tender, and most agreeably sweet. /( may be grow? for early spring 

 use, for sumtner, fall, or winter storing, or for canning, and should be sown for a late crop 

 because of its quickness of growth.

81 Maule's Dark Red Egyptian (48 days) ^ 



Early Maturing; Heavy Yielder; Firm, Sweet Dark Red Flesh 



■ ^ — No other Beet can replace this well 



established variety for earliness. 

 Under favorable conditions the roots 

 grow quickly and reach full size in 

 an astonishingly short time. A fav- 

 orite with market growers who plant 

 it extensively 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 increased 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, attractive- 

 ness, uniformity, and t^e dark red 

 color of the flesh are characteristics 

 that will appeal to many gardeners. 

 Cooks sweet, tender, and crisp, re- 

 taining its bright red color nicely and 

 is very desirable for pickling.

Dark Crimson Color, Uniform Size and Splendid 



Quality. Fine for Home Garden and for Canning 



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 stands close planting very well. Its attractiveness and earliness 

 have made it a great favorite with many. It is undoubtedly one 

 of the 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.
