Detroit 
Dark Red 
115a Detroit Dark Red, 
Short Top © 
60 days. Animproved and refined strain of 
Detroit Dark Red. It has tops which 
average about 3 in. shorter than those 
of the regular strain, making it suitable 
for growing on muck or for any use 
where large tops are not necessary or 
desirable. Roots are also slightly 
smaller and more globular. Skin is 
dark red; flesh is uniform deep red 
with the zones so inconspicuous that 
the flesh seems to be one solid ball 
of deep blood-red. The smaller tops 
are more acceptable to canners and 
allow the beets to stand closer to- 
gether in the home garden. Pkt. 10¢; 
oz. 35¢; 1% lb. $1.00; 12 lb. $1.75.

blood-red, showing hardly any zones. 
116 Ohio Canner 
62 days. In shape, the roots vary a little from 
almost round to slightly flattened; the skin is 
smooth and very dark red. The color of the 
flesh is extremely dark and shows hardly any 
zones. A desirable home garden beet and one 
that is especially suitable for canning. Where 
deep red interior color is an important con- 
sideration, Ohio Canner is valuable for mar- 
ket growing.

sweet when most others are past their prime.
