BEETS 
At Their Best... Tender 
and Easy to Grow 
This crop can be a leader in everyman’s

ruary and March for main spring seeding, 
and August and September for fall seeding.

plants to 3 inches in rows. Below we list 
three varieties which are leaders with mar- 
ket gardeners and at home to the grower of 
backyard vegetables. All are Lago grown 
and tested for high germination, maturing 
in 50 to 55 days.

beets. Pkt. 10c, 4 Ib. 75c, 1 Ib. $2.50. 
CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN

medium size tops and small roots. Slightly 
lighter in color, very sweet in flavor, and by 
reason of earlier maturity unexcelled for 
greens and tender beets. Pull beets when 2
