BEET- 

 ^OODFORALL 



THIS is the most refined, distinct and 

 uniform strain of Beet we have 

 developed. 

 Tops are sparse and shorter than any 

 strain of Detroit Dark Red, usually 10 to 

 15 inches tall, depending on growth con' 

 ditions. The leaves are narrow and quite 

 plain, color a dull grayish green. Petioles 

 are slender and not very stiff; so that the 

 tops are inclined to droop or spread. 



The roots are very smooth and refined 

 and very even in size and shape, which is 

 almost perfectly globular. The collar or 

 neck is very small due to the very slender 

 petioles. The tap root is slender and the 

 root pinches closely at the base of the tap 

 root, giving the entire bulb a very neat 

 and clean appearance. The skin is smooth 

 and very dark red. The interior color is 

 a fine deep crimson vermilion. Flesh has 

 close texture and is very free from zones 

 and prominent growth rings. 



"Good for All" shows very definite 

 advantages as a canning and pickling beet. 

 The roots are round and refined at small 

 si2;e and furnish exceptionally desirable 

 material for canning whole at II4 to ly^ 

 inches diameter. (See illustration on left.) 

 If allowed to stand, the same roots will 

 reach a size up to 4 inches diameter, still 

 retaining excellent quality and color. 



This variety has great promise owing 

 to the wide range of size at which it can 

 be used, and the remarkably fine interior 

 color and quality shown at all stages of 

 maturity. The evenness of the stock as 

 regards size and shape of roots and the 

 extreme refinement in shape of roots and 

 size of tops combine to make this an out- 

 standing canners' strain. The same qual- 

 ities appeal to the home gardener and to 

 the market gardener who caters to a 

 quality trade.
