Harris’ Special 
Crosby’s Egyptian 
Finest Beet For Early Bunching 
Harris’ Crosby is without question the 
best early bunching beet obtainable. It is very 
early, makes a good top and handsome dark 
red beets with small tap roots. Their smooth- 
ness and uniform shape makes them invariably 
the finest looking beets in the market, and 
they naturally command top prices. 


Harris’ Special ho oe 
Detroit Dark Red Harris’ Special Crosby’s Egyptian Beets 
This is the best beet for late summer and fall trade. No better strain can be obtained. It is 
not only of excellent globe shape but has a superb deep red color that is without equal. This is a 
large topped strain, and therefore particularly fine for late summer and fall bunching. There is no 
beet quite so satisfactory in all respects as Harris’ Special Detroit. 
__2We know canners who insist on Detroit beets grown from our seed in preference to all others. 
See prices below. Crop short.

True Italian Green Sprouting 
(Calabrese Strain) 
1 oz. of seed will produce about 2000 plants. 
This is the best stock which can be obtained and is the 
true ‘‘Calabrese”’ strain. You can depend on this stock to 
produce compact center heads and an abundance of large 
side shoots. 
Note: Where small center heads are wanted for bunch- 
ing, it has been found practical to sow the seed in 214 foot 
j rows and thin the plants to 3 to 6 inches. This will produce 
stil Mi an abundance of small heads and side shoots.
