SALZER’S EARLY WONDER BEETS 
PRIZE 
ItBEET 
Its beautiful deep blood-red color, 
nearly globe-shaped root with almost 
no lighter zoning in the eross-section of 
the root, its small sized top and its 
smooth, clean, and small tap-root makes 
it a decided asset in the beet family. 
Matures evenly so that the entire crop 
may be gathered at one time. It is a 
very rapid grower, is very quickly in 
presentable market shape, and because 
of its early maturity, it can be sown 
outside as late as July. Matures in 44 
days.

We first offered Salzer’s Cherry Beet in 
1933, the memorable Chicago World’s Pair 
year, as the Unknown Beet, and thou¬ 
sands planted it, to find it one of the 
nicest beets grown! Salzer’s Cherry Ileet 
is a small, early beet, maturing in 52 days 
and is especially fine for canning and 
pickling whole at 1% to 1% inches in 
diameter. Roots are smooth, even in size 
and shape and almost perfectly globular. 
Tops and tap roots are very small. The 
flesh is an intense deep crimson, free 
from white zones, elegant in quality. 
Yields heavily. While it is a splendid 
beet for canning, its attractive color and 
small uniform size make it ideal for daily 
A handsome, globe-shaped beet with 
smooth skin and of an attractive deep 
blood-red color, of perfect globe form 
and superior in quality, having very 
fine grained, rich and exceedingly ten¬ 
der flesh of excellent quality. The roots 
are uniform, medium sized, of perfect 
globe shape, remarkably 
smooth surface, very 
small tap-root, and the 
color of the skin and flesh 
is a brilliant, fiery red. 
This intensity of color is fj 
retained when cooked, mak- \ 
ing Fireball highly desira- 
ble for canning or pickling. 
Although very early /'"H" 
(quickly reaching a diam- - /§■ 
eter of 2 inches), if left /*Sf | 
growing, the larger roots -f@ 
retain their fine flavor, ten- f 
derness and deep coloring.

Also known as Sea Kale. Is grown for its stalks and leaves, as it does not make a bulbous, 
edible root like the other varieties of beets. The leaves grow large and upright and as the 
outer leaves are cut, more come from the center. Yields a constant crop from July until winter, 
and can be used all summer when spinach is not available. The mid-rib or center stem of each 
leaf is large, broad, and white, and after trimming can be cooked and served like asparagus. The 
leaf part is cooked like spinach.
