EARLY RED CHIEF A new early beet of unusual 
merit, fast growing and yet 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 bunch¬ 
ing. The market gardener will welcome this 
addition to the list of beets. Crop Failure.

main crop with an exceptionally dark interior 
color. The beet is a deep globe shape, smooth 
and has a small tap root. The top is small to
