ALLEN’S SELECT. Several years ago we noticed in a bed of Crosby’s Egyptian, 
a Beet that grew faster and larger, and matured earlier than the rest. After 
eareful testing we became convinced that this Beet is not only of commercial 
value, but deserves trial by all lovers of Beets. It is globular, dark red, fine 
flavored and a good keeper. Ripens early, excellent for greens. We have only 
a limited quantity of this seed. 
CRIMSON GLOBE. From England and still one of the best globe-shaped Beets. 
Can be marketed early. 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN IMPROVED. A quick grower, best quality, 
forcing in or out-of-doors. Roundish, well colored, a favorite with market 
gardeners. Our seed is fresh and will satisfy. 
DETROIT DARK RED. Small tops, can be placed close. 
for table use, 
ECLIPSE. Early and smooth, roundish, good quality. Can’t be beat. 
OHIO CANNER. This Beet has been developed to meet the exacting demands of 
the canner for a smooth. perfectly formed Beet with deep colored flesh. It is 
the result of the inbreeding of many generations of Beets by the Ohio Agricul- 
tural Experiment Station. TRe tops are small and dark colored. The roots are 
uniformly round in shape with a small tap root. Flesh is intense deep blood- 
red without any trace of light zones. Commercial growers will find here a 
splendid paying sort. It is also a splendid variety for the home garden.
