EARLY WONDER OR DARK CROSBYS 
BEETS 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN 
LUPTON PERFECTED DETROIT 
OHIO CANNER 
We have a highly selected and inbred stock of this 
type which is much commended; the root is 
dark purplish red slightly wider than deep, but 
not flattened. Next to Flat Egyptian it is the 
earliest dark beet. 
EXTRA EARLY FLAT EGYPTIAN 
The earliest dark beet. 
EARLY ECLIPSE 
A very early bright red turnip-shaped beet with 
white zones and a large green top, especially fine 
for greens. 
EDMOND’S BLOOD TURNIP 
Not so good as Detroit. 
(1 Ft *•* V 1 V ■ 
Just as early as Early Wonder but a lighter colored 
strain, more prominent zones, it matures quickly, 
has a good bunching top, and attractive outside 
color. Our stock has proven very desirable in the 
South for early market shipments. 
CRIMSON GLOBE 
A large round quick-growing light zoned beet. 
Good foliage. 
LONG SMOOTH BLOOD 
Used largely in centers which have a considerable 
Jewish population. We grow only the type 
which grows mostly above the ground. 
WINTER KEEPER OR LONG SEASON 
A beet of fine quality for winter storage. Half 
long blood type, green top.

In awarding to this beet the First Award of Merit 
in 1933 the All America Selection Committee 
says: 
"PERFECTED DETROIT BEET—Entered by J. M. 
Lupton Gr Son, Inc., Mattituck, N. Y., is first Award 
of Merit winner and judges consider it the finest 
strain of blood turnip beet yet created. It is an early, 
round, dark red root, with medium foliage, produced 
by inbreeding and reselection over a period of eight 
generations on the Lupton farms. It seems to have 
the color, shape, top and earliness desired in this 
type, cans red with no browns nor purples, has no 
white rings and has a fine top for bunching." 
We cannot add much to the statement of the committee 
except to state that we now have this beet in quantity at rea¬ 
sonable prices.

BEETS FOR STOCK SEED SELECTIO N AT OUR LONG ISLAND FARMS 
LUPTON PERFECTED DETROIT 
Bred by nine generations of intensive selection work 
by members of the staff of Ohio Agricultural 
Experiment Station. We co-operate with them 
in multiplication and reselection of planting stock 
and are the only producers of the variety from 
stock seeds bred at the station. This beet was 
bred at the request of canning companies to ob¬ 
tain a stock which would peel with less steam, 
hold in the field at canning size longer, and 
without becoming tough or stringy, more smooth 
and round facilitating peeling, sweeter taste, and 
above all, of a uniformly dark red color with no 
purple beets which can brown. We are assured 
by canners it produces the handsomest pack pos¬ 
sible. 
Having very small foliage it can be planted closely 
to produce the maximum number of small beets. 
The same characteristics make it desirable for 
home gardens. 
We now have this in quantity at low prices and can 
endorse it without qualification. 
Insist on obtaining it under this seal only.
