Burgess’ Special Detroit 
EARLY WONDER BEET 
Our select market garden¬ 
ers’ strain of this variety 
is valuable to market growers as a first early variety. It is so uni¬ 
form in growth that the entire crop can be lifted at one time. Tops 
small, roots flattened, globe-shaped with small tap root. Flesh deep 
purplish-red with little zoning. 
GIANT LUCULLUS. Grown for its large, tender leaves and leaf stalks, heaves grow to a length 
of 2 to 2% feet; stalks are nearly as thick and broad as Rhubarb and never get tough. By picking 
off the large outside leaves, as wanted, more continue to grow and keep right on growing .until killed 
by severe frost in the fall. The whole leaf can be used for greens, or the leaf stalks can be cooked 
like asparagus. Also extensively used as a green feed for poultry.
