In the production of the leading varieties of Beet we have bred 
pedigreed strains for critical market garden and shipping trade. Earli¬ 
ness, evenness of maturity, depth of color and small tap roots are feat¬ 
ures of these stocks grown from mother beets selected with discriminat¬

about 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Beets are native of Europe.
