strain of Detroit Dark Red. Roots are very smooth 
and even in size and shape, which is almost per¬ 
fectly globular. Skin is smooth and very deep red.

Flesh has close texture and is very free from zones. 
It shows very definite advantages as a canning and 
pickling beet, exceptionally desirable for canning 
whole at 1 14 to 1 14 inches in diameter. If allowed 
to stand the same roots will reach a size up to 4 
inches in diameter and still retain excellent quality

We have indicated the number of days common¬ 
ly required to produce roots ideal for bunching.
