Harris’ Special 
Crosby’s Egyptian Beet 
The Finest Beet For Early Bunching 
11 Every one a model for shape and color.” 
We’ve repeated this many times, but as 
we checked many trials this summer and 
inspected our “mother roots” as they 
were pulled this fall, that phrase seemed 
to be the only way to describe this strain. 
Over thirty years of intense breeding and 
selection is bound to show results. This 
beet is not only very true«but as early 
as any kind we know. We are proud of 
our stock of this grand beet and can con¬ 
fidently say that it is the finest of the 
type grown. See price below.

Harris’ Special Detroit Dark Red Beet 
We find it almost impossible to grow enough seed of this beet to meet our customers’ demands. 
Canners tell us that there is nothing quite so satisfactory for type and color. 
Market Gardeners find this an extra fine beet for late summer and fall bunching. Due to the 
short crop of seed for 1937 we advise growers who wish to be sure of getting our stock to place 
their orders early. See price below.
