way. Flesh is fine grained, tender and most agreeably sweet. It 
may be grown for early use, summer, fall or winter storing as

especially suited for late sowings. It is really an all-purpose, all- 
season table beet of high quality.

could be arown in localities where infested “cabbage- 
yellows’’ soil had prevented non-resistant varieties from 
producing a crop. If you live in such a locality and have 
had trouble, try the following varieties:
