this Beet develop quicker than any other Table 
Beet. Bulbs half globular or flat. Roots smooth, 
dark red. Small tops. Flesh of a purplish red. 
Landreths’ Best—50 Days. About 5 days earlier 
than Detroit, more ball-shaped, altogether a superior 
sort. Slimmer tap roots, more mouse-tailed. Roots 
vary from deep globe to round. Flesh deep red,

Skin smooth, free from fibers. Tops small. All 
gardeners will find this beet of fully double the usual 
value if they are pulled and served on the table

dollar. Landreths’ Best is very choice for early use, 
having an intensely red color, delicate texture.

WATERING THE 
GARDEN 
The garden should be 
watered when the soil

a bad practice. Be sure to 
deeply soak the soil each

using the irrigation or 
garden hose until actually 
needed again.
