DETROIT 
DARK RED 
Cannot be _ surpassed for 
main crop purposes. One of 
the largest beets grown and a 
heavy cropper, producing large, 
globe shaped roots, delicious, 
tender, and fine grained, small 
tap-root, and free from any 
trace of woodiness or stringy 
tendency. Succeeds equally 
well at all seasons and is one 
of the best to sow in spring to 
succeed the extra early and 
medium crop sorts. 
The skin is an attractive 
blood-red and the flesh is dark 
red, practically zoneless. It is a 
popular variety for canning re- 
taining its fine color exceptionally 
well. Leaves are dark = green, 
shaded with red, tops are small 
and grow upright. The flesh is 
solid, always tender and of a de- 
cidedly sweet flavor. Matures in 
about 50 days. Most valuable for 
succession sowings. A great fa- 
vorite, not only with market 
gardeners who grow for profit, 
but likewise with the home gar- 
dener. Re-selected seed. 159—
