Crosby’s Early Egyptian 
Beets 
One ounce sows 50 feet of drill; 4 to G pounds for one acre. 
For early, sow as soon as ground can be worked, and about the middle of May for general 
crop, in drills 15 inches apart and 1 y 2 inches deep. As the plants grow thin to 6 inches in drills. 
Young plants make excellent greens. Seed will germinate more freely if soaked in warm water 
twenty-four hours before sowing; but care should be taken not to plant soaked seed in very dry 
ground. The soil should be a deep rich loam. 
CROSBY’S EAREY EGYPTIAN. — Improved 
strain of the famous Early Egyptian, but produc- 
ing a deeper or thicker root; of fine form, ex- 
tremely early, deep red color, almost black, flesh 
sweet, smooth, tender, and of exceptionally fine 
quality; can be depended on for best results when 
grown either in garden or under glass; highly 
recommended as an early market va- 
riety. ^4 lb*» 40c; 1 lb., $1.50. 
EAREY ECEIPSE. — To the grower 
desiring a very early crop we would 
recommend this variety as the first to 
be ready for table use and therefore 
able to command a high price on the 
market. It is perfectly smooth and 
round. The skin and flesh are deep 
red — very sweet, tender and succu- 
lent. It does not grow to a very 
large size, but is of a fine grain and 
meatiness not possible to the large 
varieties. One of the very early 
beets. Y* lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
CRIMSON GLOBE. — Handsome in 
shape, a little deeper than round, 
with a smooth surface and small tap 
root. Flesh deep crimson, ringed and 
zoned. Not desirable for bunching 
for early use, but also it is good for 
main crop, as it keeps well until 
spring. *4 lb., 35c; 1 lb., $1.25. 
IMPROVED EAREY BLOOD TUR- 
NIP. — Somewhat similar to the De- 
troit Dark Red, but larger and much 
later. A fine variety for summer 
and fall use. V* lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00. 
IMPROVED LONG DARK BLOOD. 
— Tops large, necks small, leaf stems 
and vines red, leaf green, roots large, 
tapering, growing even with the sur- 
face. Flesh dark red, zoned with 
lighter shade, tender and sweet and 
remaining so when kept till spring. V* lb., 25c; 
1 lb., 90c. 
LONG SMOOTH BLOOD. — Late variety, pro- 
ducing long roots. Excellent keeper; good 
quality. V4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 90c. 
SWISS CHARD, or SEA KALE BEET. — It is 
superior to the common beet for greens; if sown 
at the same time, it will be fit for use before it. 
Later the plant forms broad, wax-like stems to 
the leaves, which are very delicious cooked or 
pickled. They have a flavor similar to spinach, 
lb., 25c; 1 lb., 75c. 
DETROIT DARK RED. — A medium early globe- 
shaped meet of excellent quality. It is especially 
esteemed on account of its dark-red color which 
extends entirely through the beet, and without 
the light colored rings seen in some varieties. 
The beets are smooth and handsome. V4 lb., 35c; 
1 lb., $1.25.
