Ohio Canner (New). The absence of lighter zones, the smooth 
symmetrical form and superior color make this the most 
perfect canning and pickling beet yet developed. Also 
splendid for market growing and table use. Roots are uni¬ 
formly round, small tap root. Flesh is intense deep blood 
red, with no trace of lighter rings. Tops are small, dark.. $0.10 $0.30 $1.00 
Crosby’s Improved Egyptian. 50-55 days. Is very attractive 
and a favorite destined to become one of the best market 
varieties. Extremely early, good uniform size, bright red 
with small top which makes it very suitable for bunching .10 
Improved Detroit Dark Red. Our particular strain of this 
variety has given perfect satisfaction to the Minneapolis 
gardeners for several years, due to uniformity of globe 
shape and deep red color.10 
Perfected Detroit. Received Award of Merit, All-American Selec¬ 
tions, 1934. Superior to any variety yet introduced. Comes 
95% true to exactly the same shade of dark red color and 
does not show any white rings. Tops are medium and their 
close, compact attachment leaves a larger portion of the 
root edible. Roots are globular, very smooth and uniform. 
Excellent for market garden. 10 
ASGROW EARLY WONDER (Special). Our development in¬ 
troduced in 1932. A pedigreed stock, the result of many 
years of pure-line breeding; unsurpassed in earliness, uni¬ 
formity, and in depth of interior color. Tops small, erect, 
slender. Roots semi-globular, deep red, smooth, with small 
neck and tap root. Flesh purplish red with zones of slightly 
lighter shade; tender, and of excellent quality.10

LINDHOLM’S Selected Beets are grown from selected roots. They cost much more to 
produce and are worth much more than less carefully grown seeds.
