BEET 
: a 

Short Top Detroit 
Culture. A rich, sandy loam will give best results with 
table beets. Sow the seed in the early spring in rows 12 to 
14 inches apart and when about 2 inches high, thin to 
three inches apart. For winter use, sow from July first to 
August 10th. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 
6 to 8 pounds per acre. 
EARLY RED CHIEF A new early beet of unusual 
merit, fast growing and yet dark red flesh. The 
shape is attractive, perfectly round instead of flat- 
tened as are most early sorts. The roots are smooth, 
of uniform shape and with small taproot, The tops 
are medium, not too small for bunching. The market 
gardener will welcome this addition to the list of beets.

SHORT TOP DETROIT A very special stock for main 
crop with an exceptionally dark interior color. The 
beet is a deep globe shape, smooth and has a small 
tap root. The top is small to medium. We highly 
recommend this variety if you want an extra 
dark red beet. It is extensively used by canners.
