Harris’ Special 
Crosby’s Egyptian Beet 
The Finest Beet For Early Bunching 
We are proud of our stock of this grand 
beet and can confidently say that it is the finest 
of the type grown. Our stock is backed by over 
thirty years of careful breeding here on our own 
farm and as we have said many times, “Every 
one a model for shape and color.” Market 
gardeners who grow our stock find that the 
attractive bunches of these smooth, even dark 
red beets with their fine tap roots always com¬ 
mand better prices than ordinary stock. See 
price below. 
Harris’ Special 
Detroit Dark Red Beet 
Market Gardeners find this an extra fine beet 
for late summer and fall bunching, and canners 
of high quality products tell us there is no strain 
more satisfactory for color. We find it almost 
impossible to grow enough seed of this variety to 
meet our customers demands. Due to the short 
crop of seed for 1938, we again advise growers 
who wish to be sure of getting our stock to place 
their orders early. See prices below.
