/~s i_• t? _ . 60 days. There seems to be 
CrOSDy S Egyptian . some confusion as to what the 
correct type for this variety should be. We have held that the 
shape of the beet should be flattened, globe in shape, with small tap 
root. Exterior color of the root purple red. Flesh bright crimson 
red zoned with a lighter shade. This beet is of fine quality and used 
extensively for “bunch beets." Many growers feel that the flattened 
shape makes the beet more attractive in the bunch when young.
