Our new strain of Detroit Dark Red Beets 
Beet, Detroit Dark Red (Late) 
In this particular strain we are offering something exceptionally fine. Canners through¬ 
out the country are reporting this variety to be the finest they have ever seen for that 
purpose. The tops are rather small. This is very necessary. 
We have gone to the trouble of having a few put through the canning process, and the 
illustration shows the exceptionally fine color and type. For the market gardener who is 
figuring on bunching Beets, it has also proved to be worth while, the color and shape satisfying 
the particular buyer. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Virtu 30 cts.; lb. 90 cts.; 10 lbs. $8 
Beet, Detroit Dark Red (Large Top) 
Here is a new stock of Detroit Beet which we made especially for market gardeners 
wishing a large top. The stock is true, with a fine globe-shaped root; outer skin dark; 
inside flesh very dark. This root will hold its shape better than most varieties of Detroit 
when it is subject to hard soil or adverse weather conditions. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Virtu 30 cts.; lb. $1; 10 lbs. $9
