 40 days, of perfect shape and beautiful, deep red color. The

 solidity, fineness and firmness of its bright red flesh make it 

 one of the best keeping varieties. It is always a ready seller on 

 the market stall, where a symmetrical shaped beet is wanted.

 especial emphasis, for it is an ideal beet for household use. It 

 can be used at all stages of growth, ready for use in about 65 

 days, and it is almost needless to say that a sweet and succu- 

 lent half long blood beet like this is sure to become a favorite.
