84 Detroit Daik Red 



84 Detroit Dark Red (Medium Top) (55 days) 



A Highly Bred, Globe Shaped Beet for Home or Market 



We offer a special strain of this famous Beet. It excels in uniformity of size, 

 shape, and color, being suited for home use, market sales, storing, shipping 

 and canning. The roots are of medium size, smooth, perfectly globe shaped, 

 and of attractive appearance. The color of the flesh is a most intense 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 beets that excel in color and firmness as well as in quality. The tops 

 are medium, which permits close planting and makes it ideal for bunching.

85 Detroit Dark Red (Short Top) (55 days) 



Excellent Dark Red Beet for Canner or Home Garden 



This strain of Detroit Dark Red Beet is the same as the Medium Top Strain, 

 except it produces smaller, more spherical roots, vnth distinctly shorter 

 tops. The dark blood-red interior is very uniform in color, the zones being so 

 inconspicuous that the flesh seems to be one solid ball of deep blood-red. 

 Excellent for the canner or home garden. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; V^ lb. 40c; Vi lb. 60c; lb. 95c; 2 lbs. $1.70; 5 lbs. $4.05. 



78 Crimson Globe (65 days) 



Medium Size, Globe Shaped 



A handsome Beet of medium size which received its name from the uniform 

 globe shape of the roots. It is entirely free from rootlets which enhances its 

 good appearance. For a second early variety it is hard to beat. The foliage 

 is medium which makes it suitable for forcing under glass. The flesh 

 is rich blood-red with somewhat lighter zones. It retains its tenderness. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 25c; V2 Ih. 40c; lb. 70c; 2 lbs. $1.25; 5 lbs. $2.80. 



77 Crosby's Egyptian (55 days) tj* 



Flattened Globe Shape ; Flesh Deep Red, Zoned Lighter 



Our strain of this quality Beet is a decided improvement on the older forms of 

 Egyptian and we claim there is no better early garden Beet, as it increases in^ 

 size so rapidly. The roots are larger and more globular, though still some- 

 what flattened at the top, representing more or less of a turnip shape. The 

 skin is a very deep red and the flesh is somewhat lighter in color. The foliage 

 is medium size so that by close planting the yield from a given area can be 

 considerably increased. Market gardeners will find this ideal for bunching. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 30c; V2 lb. 45c; lb. 75c; 2 lbs. $1.35; 5 lbs. $3.20. 



70 MauJe's Eaily Wonder 



70 MAULE'S EARLY WONDER (55 days) ^ 



Also Known as Boston Crosby. Early, Tender and Sweet 



This early Beet is the result of yearly selection made over a long period of 

 time. As we offer it today it seems almost impossible to still further improve 

 its appearance and excellent quality. It is probably the earliest of the small 

 table beets for outside growing. The roots are flat to globe in shape, of a 

 beautiful deep red color, and of medium size roots and tops. This character- 

 istic makes it possible to grow them quite close and thereby increase the yield. 

 Its most valuable points are — that it is as early as any other market Beet, and 

 that the roots mature all together; thus allowing the harvesting of the entire 

 crop at one time. Equally desirable for home garden planting as for market. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 30c; V2 lb..50c; lb. 85c; 2 lbs. $1.55; S lbs. $3.80. 



72 Ohio Canner (55 days) 



Blood-Red Flesh with Few Zones. Excellent for Canning 



While this variety has been improved principally for the purpose of canning, 

 it nevertheless represents a most valuable variety for home gardeners and 

 market growers who cater to a select market. The shape of the Beets is round~ 

 or slightly flattened. The foliage is reddish green and somewhat smaller than 

 that of Detroit Dark Red. The very dark red skin is exceptionally smooth. 

 The color of the flesh is the darkest of any of this type, showing hardly any 

 zones at all. This is a Beet that will remain tender and sweet all summer and 

 well into the late fall. Whether young or old, small or large, they are always 

 tender and sweet. 



Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 40c; Vi lb. 60c; lb. 95c; 2 lbs. $1.70; 5 lbs. $4.05. 



90 Mixed Table Beets (48 to 70 days) 



One Planting Gives a Supply All Summer 



Those who want just a row or two of beets for their own use and want their 

 crops spread over as long a period as possible will find this mixture ideal for 

 their purpose. It contains all varieties of table beets we offer and is a most 

 desirable way to grow beets, particularly when space is limited.
