“J purchased seeds of you this year as I have for many years past. One item Harris Crosby s Egyptian beet I found I 
did not have quite enough seed so purchased some Crosby’s Egyptian from one of the largest New England seedsmen. Planted 
in rows side by side, same day with exactly same conditions. , 
Harris’ smooth, very dark, very fine quality. The others lighter, somewhat stringy, not good shape often dented, etc., 
instead of smooth and round. HARRIS’ would sell for double the price of others. Seed cost same. F. E. Parsons, E. 
Bridgewater, Mass. Aug. 11, 1934.
