BEETS AND MANGELS FOR WINTER FEED WILL MAKE BIG EGG AND CREAM CHECKS 
TABLE BEETS 
GURNEY’S EARLY MODEL GLOBE 
See Colored Picture on Inside Front Cover 
Most beets have light rings which spoil their appear¬ 
ance when cut. Through years of careful selection, we 
have practically eliminated these rings in Model Globe. 
They are dark red clear through. Model Globe is medi¬ 
um early, good for bunching or winter use. For the best 
beets,, even in size, color, and shape, plant Gurney's 
Early Model Globe.

★ DETROIT DARK RED 
This dark red beet is a winner for every purpose. It 
is early and the small tops and good shaped globe roots 
make it ideal for bunching. The flesh is very dark red 
with indistinct rings and is very sweet and tender. One 
of the best winter keepers. More Detroit Dark Red are 
grown than all other varieties combined.

POP CORN 
★ SOUTH AMERICAN MAMMOTH ■ 
Can you imagine anything more delicious or tempting 
on a long winter evening than a bowl of large, fluffy 
kerneled popcorn? Well, that is what you will have after 
popping some South American Mammoth. It pops out 
about three times the size of ordinary popcorn. 
The stalks are tall and the ears are large. It will 
yield much more than other kinds. Try some.

★ JAPANESE HULL-LESS 
See Colored Picture on Page 17 
There is always a good market for this high quality 
popcorn. It is a favorite among popcorn dealers as well 
as in the home because the long slender kernels are snowy 
white when popped, and absolutely free from hulls. It 
will not yield as much as South American Mammoth but 
is slightly earlier and is tops in quality. Plant enough 
for a year’s supply.

★ GURNEY’S DAKOTA WONDER ■ 
A beautiful smooth, globe shaped beet with small 
neck and tap root. A pedigreed stock—the result of 
many years of pure line breeding. The flesh is an intense 
dark red. You may pull a dozen or a hundred beets and 
there will be no variation in shape. Cut them and every 
one will be the same glowing dark red color. They are 
very early and very good both for bunching and winter 
use.
