DETROIT DARK RED 



Days to maturity, 45-55. This variety has made an enormously 

 important place for itself both as a shipping and a canning beet, and 

 we have taken great care to produce a stock that will be a credit to 

 those who plant it as well as to ourselves. The two great factors in a 

 fine strain of Detroit are deep, blood-red interior color and the uniform 

 depth of the root. Our stock maintains a high average in both respects. 

 We know of no stock that is finer regardless of price. Canners and 

 shippers can place great confidence in our strain, for it is a very superior 

 strain and will give unusual satisfaction.
