Maule’s Best Table Beets 
Culture: Sow the seed thinly in drills 18 in. apart and carefully thin 
the plants to stand 3 to 4 in. in the row. The round and turnip¬ 
shaped varieties are grown mostly for spring and summer use, 
though they are also excellent for fall and winter storing. The half- 
long kinds require a longer growing season and are 
known as good winter keepers. For a continuous 
supply of fresh roots, sow repeatedly from spring 
until midsummer. A packet of seed is enough for 
25 ft. of row; one ounce for 100 ft.; 5 to 6 lbs. per 
acre.

The Most Uniform, Deep¬ 
est Red Beet in Existence. 
Tender, Productive, and 
Exceedingly Sweet 
(50 days) This Beet is miles 
ahead of any other variety 
ever offered anywhere. That 
is a strong claim, but thou¬ 
sands of market growers and 
home gardeners will sub¬ 
stantiate this claim, and con¬ 
sider our enthusiasm mild in 
comparison to the outstanding features of 
this Beet. It is an early variety with a 
rich, dark red skin. The uniformity in size 
and shape is truly remarkable. They are 
perfectly globe shaped and always smooth. 
The flesh is deep red with hardly any zone. 
It retains the deep red color when cooked. 
The flesh is fine grained, tender, and most 
agreeably sweet. It may be grown for early 
spring use, for summer, fall, or winter storing, or for can¬ 
ning. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 14 lb. 50c; V 2 lb- 75c; lb. $1.25;

Beet for Home or Market 
(50 days) We offer a special t strain of this 
famous home garden and market grower’s 
Beet. It excels in uniformity of size, shape, 
and color, being suited for home use, market 
sales, storing, shipping, and canning. The 
roots are of medium size, smooth, perfectly 
globe shaped, and of generally good appear¬ 
ance. The color of the flesh is a most intense 
deep red, showing no signs of any zones after 
cooking. It remains tender throughout and 
free from fiber until fully grown. A steady 
demand from the same people year after 
year is proof that this is the Beet to grow. Our 
seed will produce uniform fruits that excel in 
color and firmness as well as in quality. The 
tops are small, which not only permits close 
planting but makes it ideal for bunching.

Early Maturing; Heavy Yielder; 
Firm Sweet Dark Red Flesh 
(40 days) No other Beet can replace this well 
established variety for earliness. Under tavorable 
conditions the roots grow quickly and reach full 
size in an astonishingly short time. A favorite with 
market growers who plant it extensively for forc¬ 
ing to supply the early market. As the roots are 
of medium size and have only a limited amount 
of foliage, they can stand quite close planting 
which, in turn, means increased yields from the 
land available. The compactness of the plant 
is only one of the features that has made it 
valuable for growing under glass. Its quality, 
attractiveness, uniformity, and the dark red 
color of the flesh are characteristics that will 
appeal to many gardeners. Cooks sweet, tender, 
and crisp, retaining its bright red color nicely 
and is very desirable for pickling. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 15c; *4 lb. 40c; V 2 lb. 60c; lb. $1.00;
