slightly lighter zones or rings. As the top growth is 



medium, it will stand close planting. Its attractiveness 



and earliness have made it a great favorite for early table 



or market use. When cooked it has a rich sweet flavor and 



is entirely free from any fiber or toughness. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c;

 extreme earliness, a solid deep red color and 

 high quality are all found. Since its introduc-

 fine exterior and intenor appearance, and the 

 medium-sized tops, which are just right for 

 bunching, make it a desirable variety for 

 market purposes. The slender tap-roots and 

 smooth texture of the skin show the care with 

 which this beet has been selected.
