Detroit Dark Red beet has long been regarded as the standard of ex-“ 
cellence. It is very early, nearly as early as Egyptian, and greatly 
passes that variety in flavor. The color is rich, dark red, and the' 
shape is globular. It is fine-grained in texture and has a small top. 
It is free from side or fibrous roots, being always smooth. It is ex¬ 
cellent for forcing: for a main spring and summer crop, or for use 
in winter, as it is a good keeper. It cooks sweet, tender and crisp, 
and is in every way a standard sort for the market or home gar¬ 
dener. Has made a good crop in seven weeks from sowing. Post-' 
paid, pkt. 8 c; oz. 15c; 1/4 lb. 30c; 1/2 lb. 50c; lb. 90c. Not Prepaid,
