Dependable Vegetable Seeds 
BEETS 
Detroit Dark Red. An early variety, perfectly globe-shaped, 
smooth with a single tap root. Small tops, skin blood red; flesh 
dark red, zoned with a lighter shade. 
It is a splendid keeper, is not excelled in yielding qualities 
by any other sort, is exceedingly tender, fine and sweet and 
is unequaled for table use. 
Detroit Dark 
Red Beet 
Early Blood Turnip. Roots turnip 
shaped, deep crimson, tender and 
sweet. 
Early Wonder. A selection from 
Crosby’s Egyptian but a few days 
later. The roots are nearly globe 
shaped, uniform in size, 
with little foliage. The 
skin is deep red and the 
flesh a rich dark color 
with little zoning. 
Edntand’s Improved 
Blood Turnip. A hand¬ 
some, clean, turnip¬ 
shaped blood beet. Skin 
and flesh are of a deep 
blood red, sweet and 
tender in quality, and 
unsurpassed for solidity 
and keeping purposes. 
Tops are small, allowing 
them to be grown close 
together. They mature 
early and give satisfaction as a bunch¬ 
ing sort. 
Extra Early Flat Egyptian. The earli¬ 
est, flattened shaped, small, symmetri¬ 
cal, deep blood color. 
Improved Long Blood. One of the best 
and most popular table beets, especially 
for autumn and winter use. Roots 10 
inches long. 
SWISS CHARD 
This variety does not produce an 
edible root like the regular garden 
beet, but is highly esteemed for the 
broad, white leaf stalks and midribs 
which are cooked and served in the 
same manner as asparagus, making 
a most delicious vegetable. The 
leaves are also cooked like spinach 
and considered equally as palatable. 
Dark Green, White Ribbed. Broad 
leaves, some-what warted, smooth 
and of dark green color. The stalks 
are broad and flattened but very 
tender. A good substitute for as¬ 
paragus. 
Giant Luculus. Best variety of 
Swiss Chard. Seed sown early in the 
Spring will produce plants quickly, 
bearing thick, light colored midribs 
and leaves of splendid quality. 
MANGEL WURZEL 
Improved Mammoth Long Red. The 
roots are very large, uniformly 
straight and well formed. Color deep 
red, roots solid, tops small. Roots 
attain a large size. Produces an im¬ 
mense bulk and tonnage. 
Improved Golden Tankard. We recom¬ 
mend it as the best Mangel by far for 
dairy farmers. It combines apparently 
all the fine points possible to condense 
into a Mangel. The color is a deep rich 
yellow. The flesh is firm and solid. On 
account of its shape, enormous crops are 
grown. It is easily lifted from the 
ground.
