Table Varieties 
CULTURE —'The soil which is best suited is that which is rather light and 
thoroughly enriched with a complete fertilizer. For an early supply sow in 
spring as soon as the ground becomes fit for work, in drills about 18 inches 
apart and Yi inch deep. For main crop, sow the first week in May, and for 
winter use, sow the last of June. 
1 ounce to 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds to the acre in drills. 
BOSTON CROSBY (55 days)—An exceptionally good selection from Crosby’s 
Egyptian, being more “globy,” with a smaller top and tap root. Roots 
are remarkably uniform, very dark red, flesh deep purplish red with little 
tendency to zoning. One of the most popular and handsome of the early 
beets. 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN (55 days)—Where a first early market is desired our 
strain of this variety is unequalled. Roots a flattened globe shape; skin 
fairly dark red, flesh a trifle lighter in color and lightly zoned; tops small. 
DETROIT DARK RED. (See next page.) 
EARLY BLOOD TURNIP, IMPROVED (60 days)—The old standard 
table beet. Roots nearly round or slightly flattened, bright red, zoned and 
of good quality. Not so early as Detroit, and with a larger, coarser top. 
EARLY WONDER (55 days)—A selection from Crosby’s Egyptian, though 
not so early as our strain of that variety. Roots uniform, nearly globe- 
shaped, with small top and tap root; skin dark red, flesh deep blood red, 
with little zoning. Popular with market gardeners for early or late planting. 
ECLIPSE (65 days)—An early variety with small tops and medium sized, 
round, bright red roots; flesh bright red, zoned pinkish-white. 
EDMANDS’ BLOOD TURNIP (65 days)—A second early sort, with short 
tops; roots nearly round, dark red; flesh purplish red with little zoning. 
A good keeper.
