Days to Maturity, 50. A well established medium early variety. 

 The root is turnip shaped, dark blood red in color, with lighter

 oz. 20c, M lb. 45c, 1 lb. $1.25, postpaid.

 Landreth. The stock we offer is from 

 English sources, the photograph given 

 here having been taken on Windermoor 

 Farm. Long Smooth Blood is recom- 

 mended for fall and winter use. It will 

 develop to at least six inches in length, and is of excel- 

 lent quality. The color is a rich blood-red with no 

 contrasting zone colors. Pkt. 10c, oz. 20c, lb. 45c,

No. 72 — Windermoor Half -Long 



Days to Maturity, 60. The half-long beet was 

 apparently first introduced by E. J. Evans in 1871. 

 In all these years there has not been an established 

 trade name developed. Because of the work we have 

 done on this variety here on Windermoor Farm, we 

 call our strain Windermoor Half-Long. As com- 

 pared with New Century, this variety is not recom- 

 mended for the home garden planter. For com- 

 mercial growers, who question their ability to sell 

 the New Century on account of the rougher char- 

 acter of the root, we recommend Windermoor Half- 

 Long, especially as a late variety. The root is about 

 three and one-half inches in diameter when mature, 

 deep red color, very smooth, and uniform. The 

 interior is rich red, zoned with a fighter red, and 

 the quality is good. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, lb. 40c, 

 1 lb. $1.00, postpaid.
