Beets are one of the most healthful of vege- 
tables, containing more elements which the 
human system needs than almost any other. 
Perfection Brand Delicious Beets 
Beets grow in moderately light, sandy soil. For very early crops, sow in hot-beds and transplant the seedings as 
soon as the weather is warm enough into open ground; for regular crop, plant outside as soon as the ground is in 
good condition; plant in drills 12 to 15 inches apart and cover about 1 inch deep. When the seedings are 4 to 5 inches 
high, thin them out to stand 4 to 5 inches apart in the row. An ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 pounds to 
the acre. 
GREEN TOP BUNCHING—A 1940 introduc- 
tion. Early, extremely attractive bunching 
beet. Tops medium size and erect. Foliage 
clean, grayish-green that does not turn red cr 
brown in fall. Roots round, smooth and glossy, 
slightly flattened when mature; flesh bright 
blood red. Flesh finer and has less fiber than 
most bunching beets. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; %4 
lb., 70c, postpaid. 
EARLY WONDER—A very early dark red 
beet similar to Crosby’s Egyptian. Its earliness 
and deep color make it a favorite with the 
market gardeners. The taproots are small and 
the roots are of a desirable shape for bunch- 
ing. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.60, 
postpaid. 
DETROIT DARK RED—Very popular sort 
used extensively by market gardeners as well 
as private planters. It matures early, and the 
roots are of splendid shape and good color. 
The tops are small and upright-growing, which 
makes possible close planting. The roots are 
globular and smooth, the skin is dark blood 
red, the flesh red with lighter zones. The beets 
are very tender, firm and crisp, and remain so 
for a long time. Pkt., 5c; 0z., 20c; %4 Ib., 60c; 
Ib. $1.85, postpaid. By freight or express, 
$1.75 per lb. 

Crosby’s Egyptian 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN—The market gard- 
ener’s favorite. Fine, globe-shaped roots. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 50c; Ib., $1.60, postpaid. 
EARLY BLOOD TURNIP — Coming in at 
the same time as the small flat Egyptian, it 
is much larger and almost globe-shaped—a 
much better beet for every purpose. It is fine- 
grained, very tender, and of good, sweet flavor. 
The color of the flesh is a rich red, tinged 
with crimson. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 50c; 
Ib., $1.60, postpaid. 
Swiss Chard or Spinach 
Beet 
Swiss chard is the best “greens” follow-up 
for spinach, and will stand the hot weather 
without losing its crispness. 
This delicious and useful vegetable should 
be in every garden and on every market stall. 
It is really two distinct vegetables. First the 
leafy part of the foliage is cooked and served 
the same as spinach, while the stalks are 
cooked and served with drawn butter, like ten- 
der asparagus. It grows about 244 feet high. 
The stalks are thick and broad like rhubarb; 
the leaves are large and heavily crumpled, like 
Savoy Spinach. Crisp and tender, pleasing 
flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 50c; Ib., 
$1.40, postpaid.
