Table Beets— continued 

 81 Maule*s Dark Red Egyptian (48 days) «3t 



Early Maturing, Sweet, Dark Red Flesh; Popular 



No other Beet can replace this well-established variety for earliness. Under 

 favorable conditions the roots grow quickly and reach full size in an astonish- 

 ingly short time. A favorite 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. 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 which also makes it very desirable for pickling.

70 Maule's Early Wonder 

 (55 days) 



Also Known as Boston Crosby. Early, 

 Tender, Sweet 



Early Wonder is the result of yearly selections made 

 over a long period of time to perfect an early small 

 Beet that would be considered the standard of 

 excellence for all purposes. As we offer it today it 

 seems almost impossible to still further improve its 

 appearance and excellent quality. It is the earliest 

 of the small table Beets for outside growing. Roots 

 are flat to globe in shape, beautiful deep red, and 

 have small tap-roots and medium sized tops. It is 

 possible to grow them Quite close and thereby 

 increase the yield. It may be sown early; it matures 

 early and so uniform in growth that the harvesting 

 of the entire crop can be practically done at one 

 time thereby permitting the use of the ground for 

 some other planting. Equally desirable for home 

 and market garden.

72 Ohio Canner 



(55 days) 



Blood-Red Flesh with Few Zones 



While this Beet had been selected as one especially 

 suitable for canning, it has proved a most valuable 

 variety for table use. The shape varies a little, some 

 are almost round, others slightly flattened. The foliage 

 is reddish green and somewhat smaller than that of 

 Detroit Dark Red. The very dark red skin is excep- 

 tionally smooth. The color of the flesh is the darkest 

 of any of this type, showing hardly any zones at 

 all. Remains tender and sweet, whether young or 

 old, small or large.

78 Crimson Globe (65 days) 



Medium Sized, Globe-Shaped, Excellent 



Handsome, medium size Beet of true globe shape, 

 entirely free from fibrous rootlets; small tap-root and 

 medium sized foliage. For a second early and main 

 crop Beet for home or market it is unsurpassed. The 

 medium foliage makes it suitable for forcing under 

 glass or in hotbeds. The flesh is rich deep crimson 

 with somewhat lighter zones; of sweet flavor and 

 excellent quality. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 30c; Vz lb. 50o; 

 lb. 85c; 2 lbs. $1.55; 5 lbs. $3.60. 



77 Crosby's Egyptian 



(55 days) ^ 



Tender and Sweet. Excellent All-Putpose 

 Early Beet 



Our strain of this quality Beet is a decided improve- 

 ment on the older forms of Egyptian and we claim 

 there is no better early garden Beet, as it becomes 

 ready for use so quickly. Beets are large, nearly 

 round but somewhat flattened at the top, smooth, 

 slender tap-root and medium tops. The skin is a 

 very deep red and the flesh is also deep red zoned 

 with a somewhat lighter shade. The foliage, being 

 inedium size, permits close planting so that the yield 

 from a given area can be considerably increased. 

 Pkt. 10c : oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 30c; 1/2 lb. 50o; 

 lb. 85c; 2 lbs. $1.55; 5 lbs. $3.60.
