Maulers Table Beets 



Culture: Seed for main crop may be sown in the early spring as soon 

 as ground can be worked; later sowings for continuous supply, every 

 two or three weeks until July. Sow seed in rows 18 to 24 in. apart, and 

 cover 1 in. deep. Thin plants to stand 3 to 4 in. apart in the rows. The 

 later sowings will produce the best Beets for 

 winter storing. A packet will sow about 25 ft. 

 of row: an ounce, 100 ft.; 5 to 6 lbs. to an acre.

Uniform, Deep Red Beets; Extra Select 



Our strain has been carefully selected and 

 improved each year. It is noted for its purity 

 and merit. Thousands of market growers and 

 home gardeners have grown it to their profit 

 and entire satisfaction, and consider our 

 enthusiasm mild in comparison to the out- 

 standing features of this Beet. It is an early 

 variety with 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 solid, tender, and 

 most agreeably sweet. May be grown for use in 

 early spring, summer or fall: splendid for 

 li'inter storing or for canning. Because of its 

 quickness of growth, it is especially suited for 

 late sowings; in fact, anyone wanting an all- 

 season table Beet, should sow ilaule's Blood 

 Turnip. Get your seeds from Maule.

Sweet, Dark Red Flesh; Popular 



No other Beet can replace this well-established 

 variety for earliness. Under favorable con- 

 ditions the roots grow quickly and reach full 

 size in an astonishingly 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, attractive-

 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.
