Century Beet 



Days to maturity, 60. Century is offered to 

 our trade as the finest quality Beet of our entire list. 

 Its reputation in the state of Pennsylvania, where it 

 was first disseminated, is firmly established, and it is 

 becoming more favorably known over a wide territory 

 every year. Perhaps its most worth-while feature is 

 its bright green top which is very often utilized for 

 greens. When properly prepared it is a close rival of 

 spinach and chard. The blood-red root is of very deli- 

 cate texture, even when grown over a period of three to 

 four months, during which time it may attain a size of 

 over 6 to 8 inches. It is a free from woody fiber. As a winter 

 keeper this Beet is almost in a class by itself. For this reason 

 we advise two or three consecutive plantings from April until 

 August. This will be the fifteenth year that we have offered 

 Century Beet. The demand for it is still on the upgrade. It 

 is now sold under a number of different names such as 

 Winter-Keeper, All-Seasons, etc. To those who fear that 

 the shape of the Beet may be against it, we can only say that 

 a fair trial will convince anyone of its very superior table 

 quality. Price, delivered : Pkt. 10 cts. ; oz. 25 cts. ; l /^h. 85 cts. ; 

 lb. $3; 5 lbs. or more, $2.75 per lb.

 owing to the fact that it holds its rich, blood-red color through 

 the entire process. The shape of Detroit Dark Red is almost a 

 perfect globe. Its edible quality may be described as good.

 and it has many times proved to be extremely satisfactory
