 careful breeding that has been given it and 

 growers can place every confidence in it. 



Beet constitutes one of the most im-

 of beet have increased to enormous pro- 

 portions and our arrangements for the 

 current year call for a supply of over 

 75,000 pounds, — enough seed to plant 

 8,000 acres. Our beet business could not

 above total our Crosby Egyptian consti- 

 tutes more than half.
