S^f Detroit Dark Red 



Excellent lor the Home Garden or Canning 



This early globe-shaped beet of excellent 

 quality is especially esteemed on account of 

 its dark red color, which extends entirely 

 through the beet, and without the light colored 

 rings seen in some varieties. The medium 

 sized beets are smooth and handsome and are 

 now being largely used for canning as well as 

 for the home garden or market. It retains 

 Its good quality even after it gets large, and is 

 an excellent variety on this account for fall use 

 as well as for spring. Maturing in about 50 days.
