tale’s Best Table Beets 
77 Crosby’s Egyptian 0 
Medium Size Tops, Roots Flat¬ 
tened Globe Shape. Flesh 
Deep Red, Zoned Lighter 
(42 days) Our strain of this qual¬ 
ity Beet is a decided improvement 
on the older forms of Egyptian 
and we claim there is no better 
early garden Beet. The roots are 
larger and more globular though 
still somewhat flattened at the 
top, representing more or less of a 
turnip shape. The skin is a very 
deep red and the flesh is somewhat 
lighter in color. The foliage is quite 
short so that by close planting the 
yield from a given area can be con¬ 
siderably increased. Market gar¬ 
deners will find this an ideal 
variety for bunching. Pkt. 10c;

68 Good for AH 
Roots Globe Shaped; Smooth: 
Deep Crimson Color 
(50 days) This Beet is well named, as it 
is equally good for table, bunching, pick¬ 
ling or canning. A special selection from 
Detroit and may be used at all stages of 
its growth. Can be harvested when 
1M in. in diameter for 
canning, but even if left 
until full grown, they 
will hold their color, 
shape and quality. Roots 
are very smooth and 
uniform in size; the flesh 
is deep blood-red with 
practically no zones, and 
is fine grained, sweet and 
crisp. Tops are medium 
size and quite spreading. 
Equally desirable for 
market or home garden.

Dark Crimson Color, Uniform Size and Splendid 
Quality. Fine for Home Garden and for Canning 
(40 days) We regard this as an exceptionally fine Beet 
with large roots of even size and splendid quality. Its shape 
is that of a turnip; just a little deeper than Crosby’s 
Egyptian. The flesh is dark crimson with slightly lighter 
zones or rings. As the top growth is small it stands close 
planting very well. Its attractiveness and earliness have 
made it a great favorite with many. It is undoubtedly one 
of the best Market Beets. When cooked it has a rich sweet 
flavor and it is entirely free from any fiber or toughness. 
Equally fine for immediate use or for canning. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 20c; i / 4 lb. 50c; y 2 lb. 75c; lb. $1.25; 2 lbs. $2.30; 
5 lbs. $5.50; 10 lbs. $10.00. 
72 Ohio Canner 
Blood-Red Flesh with Few Zones. Retains its 
Color After Canning 
(60 days) While this variety has been improved principally 
for the purpose of canning, it nevertheless represents a most 
valuable variety for home gardeners and market growers who 
cater to a select market. The shape of the Beets is rou.id or 
slightly flattened. The foliage is reddish green and somewhat 
smaller than that of Detroit Dark Red. The very dark red 
skin is exceptionally smooth. The color of the flesh is the 
darkest of any of this type showing hardly any zones at all. 
This is a Beet that will remain tender and sweet all summer 
and well into the late fall. Whether young or old, small or 
large, they are always tender and sweet. Pkt. 10c: oz. 20c; 
1/4 lb. 50c; V 2 lb. 75c; lb. $1.25; 2 lbs. $2.30; 5 lbs. $5.50; 
10 lbs. $ 10 . 00 . 
73 Winter Keeper 
Tender and Delicious the Entire Summer 
(60 days) This is truly a “Long Season” Beet and just the one you 
want as it will remain tender and sweet all summer, and will also keep 
well into the winter. Unfortunately it is not as perfect in shape as some 
we have seen, and so is not especially recommended for Market Garden r 
ers, but for Home Gardens where quality is all that counts this is an 
invaluable new variety. This top-shaped Beet is of medium size, and 
of rich red color with few zones. Grows slowly and is seldom ready for 
early use, but even when old the Winter Keeper will be found as tender 
as other Early varieties. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; Vi lb. 50c; */z lb. 75c; 
lb. $1.25; 2 lbs. $2.30; 5 lbs. $5.50; 10 lbs. $10.00. 
70 Maule’s Early Wonder ^ 
Also Known as Boston Crosby. Early, Tender and Sweet; 
Dark Red Roots 
(40 days) This early Beet is the result of yearly selection made over 
a long period of time. As we offer it today it seems almost impossible 
to still further improve its appearance and excellent quality. The 
roots are of turnip shape, of a beautiful deep red color, and of medium 
size. This characteristic makes it possible to grow them quite close 
and thereby increase the yield from a given area. Equally desirable 
for home garden planting as for market. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 
1/4 lb. 40c; y 2 lb. 60c; lb. $1.00; 2 lbs. $1.85; 5 lbs. $4.40; 
10 lbs. $ 8 . 00 .
