 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.

77 Crosby's Egyptian 



Tender and Sweet {^S days) ^ 

 Excellent All-Purpose Early Beet 



Our strain of this quality Beet is a decided im- 

 provement 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 

 ■hade. The foliage, being medium size, permits 

 close planting so that the yield from a given area 

 can be considerably increased. Market gardeners 

 find it ideal for bunching; home gardeners know 

 Its excellent quality.

i91 Edmand's Early Turnip Beet 



Purplish Red; Turnip-Shaped (60 days) 



■ K most desirable turnip-shaped Beet with deep blood-red skin and bright 

 » purplish red flesh showing a little zoning of a somewhat lighter color; when 

 cooked, the zoning disappears so that it seems to be solid red. It has a medium 

 top which makes close planting possible. The roots are almost round and at 

 times taper off at the base into more of a turnip shape. It has established itself 

 firmly in certain market-growing sections, and it is also highly valued by many 

 borne gardeners who appreciate its fine, tender-grained flesh and rich sweetness.

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



Excellent Dark Red Beet for Home or Market 



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

 except it produces smaller, more spherical roots, with distinctly shorter tops. 

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

 •picuous that the flesh seems to be one solid ball of deep blood-red. Excellent 

 for home and market garden, shipping and canning.

Ohio Cannet 



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. Market growers, catering to 

 a select market, have found it profitable. The 

 shape varies a little, some are almost round, others 

 slightly flattened. The foliage is reddlsfi green 

 and somewhat smaller than that of Detroit Dark 

 Red. The very dark red skin is exceptionally 

 smooth. The color of the fiesh is the darkest o) 

 any of this type, showing hardly any zones at all. 

 Ohio Canner is a Beet that remains tender and 

 sweet, whether young or old, small or large. Most 

 desirable for the table and unsurpassed for 

 canning or pickling.

70 Maule's Early Wonder (55 days) «3t 



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 ex- 

 cellence 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 

 •mall 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.

Well named, as it is equally good for table, pickling or canning. May be used a> 

 all stages of its growth but especially fine for canning and pickhng whole when 

 1 Vi in. in diameter. Even if left until full grown, they will hold their color, shape 

 and quality. Beets are almost globular, very smooth and uniform in shape and 

 size; flesh is deep blood-red with practically no zones, fine-grained, sweet and 

 crisp. Tops are short and quite spreading. Equally desirable for market or home.
