BEET 
TABLE VARIETIES 
Our American Grown stocks of Beet Seed have won a National 
Reputation for Purity, Trueness to Type, Form and Color, and are 
supplied to the Best Seed Dealers in this Country. Canners find our 
stocks very satisfactory. Beet seed was a short crop in 1933 so 
we suggest early orders. 
Boston Crosby 
An improved Early Wonder and a most profitable first early beet for the 
market gardener. Note the small taproots. 
Tel. Per 
Cipher Pound 
Boston Crosby ... Bemker $0 55 
An exceptionally good selection from Crosby’s Egyptian, being more 
“globy”; with a smaller top and tap root. Roots are remarkably 
uniform, very dark red, flesh deep purplish red with little tendency 
to zoning. One of the most popular and handsome of the early beets. 
Crimson Globe . Bemock 50 
A late or main crop variety, medium in size, globe shaped; flesh 
deep purple slightly zoned; foliage small, dark bronze. 
Crosby’s Egyptian . Bencher 55 
Where a first early market is desired our strain of this variety is 
unequalled. Roots a flattened globe shape; skin fairly dark red, flesh 
a trifle lighter in color and lightly zoned; tops small. 
Detroit Dark Red. Bendable Sold Out 
One of the very best sorts for home or market garden and for 
canning purposes. Roots uniformly smooth, of medium size, and 
globe shaped; skin dark red, flesh solid vermilion red. O'ur special 
stock of this variety shows no white zones. Tops are small, upright, 
dark green, shaded red. 
Dewing’s Early Blood Turnip. Beneath 45 
Medium early, top-shaped; roots dark red, flesh carmine, zoned a 
lighter shade; good quality. 
Early Blood Turnip, Improved. Benefice 45 
The old standard table beet; roots nearly round or slightly flattened, 
bright red, zoned and of good quality. Not so early as Detroit, and 
with a larger, coarser top.
