66 MAULE’S BLOOD TURNIP % 
An all-purpose, all-season, uniform, deep red beet (50 days) 
This famous variety has an impressive list of good characteristics. It is early, yet it 
stands for a long time without growing coarse or tough. It has dark red skin and flesh, 
and is especially noted for the absence of objectionable light zones. This deepness 
of color makes the cooked beet a darker red than other varieties and guarantees a 
superior canned product. The flesh is sweet and possesses a distinctive flavor. Suc- 
cession plantings should be made, since the variety is good at all seasons; it is a most 
excellent beet for winter storage. Pkt. 10¢; oz. 30¢; 14 lb. 85¢; 
73 Winter Keeper 
Tender and delicious the entire summer and winter (70 days) 
Truly a long season beet since it will remain tender and sweet all summer, and also 
when stored for winter. The half-long or top-shaped beets have long, green tops, 
which can be used for greens. Beets are of medium size, very deep red color without 
light colored rings. Grows slowly, producing good-sized beets medium early, but even 
when they get quite large they will be found as tender as much earlier varieties. The 
texture of the flesh is unusually fine, and this superiority is apparent in the very high 
quality of the cooked beet. The fine texture also helps preserve firmness in storage.

Mangels are grown for poultry and stock feeding. Sow seed in May or early 
June in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart and cover the seed with 1 in. of soil. Thin to stand 
8 to 12 in. apart in the row. Use one packet for 25 ft. of row; one ounce for 
100 ft.; and 5 to 6 lbs. to the acre.

95 Maule’s Gate Post

the soil surface. Maule’s Gate Post produces large, attractive, 
oval-shaped roots of a golden yellow color. The flesh is white, 
sometimes showing a tinge of yellow in the rings.
