MILFORD, CONNECTICUT 
BEET 
One ounce of seed tor 100 feet of row, 8 to 10 lb. per acre. 
EARLY RED CHIEF—A new early beet of un¬ 
usual merit, fast growing and yet with dark 
red flesh. The shape is attractive, perfectly 
round instead of flattened as are most early 
sorts. The roots are smooth, of uniform 
shape and with small taproot. The tops 
are medium, not too small for bunching. 
The market gardener will welcome this 
addition to the list of beets. See price 
below. 
SPECIAL CROSBY EGYPTIAN—An improved 
strain of the popular Crosby Egyptian, with 
more uniform shape, a larger top and fine 
dark interior color. A fine early beet for 
bunching. See price below.
