Harris’ Special 
Crosby’s Egyptian 
Finest Beet For Early Bunching 
Harris’ Crosby is very early, producing 
handsome dark red beets with small tap roots 
and with a smoothness and uniform shape 
which make them invariably the finest looking 
beets in the market. This beet makes a good 
top and it is without question the best early 
bunching beet obtainable. 
We are proud of our stock of this grand 
beet. It is backed by over thirty years of care- 
ful breeding here on our own farm and is as 
we have said many times, ‘“‘Every one a model 
for shape and‘color.”’ See prices below.

Famous For Fine Color 
This is the best beet for late summer and

Through many years of careful breeding and 
selection we have produced a beet that is not 
only of excellent globe shape but has a superb 
deep red color which is without equal. This 
is a large topped strain, making these beets 
particularly fine for late summer and _ fall 
bunching. There is no beet quite so satisfac- 
tory in all respects as Harris’ Special Detroit. 
Our stock is well liked by canners. We 
know canners who insist on Detroit beets 
grown from our seed in preference to all others.
