Blood Red 
The color is a rich, dark red, and nearly globe shape. It is free 
from side roots, every beet being as smooth as an apple. When 
cooked, it still retains that rich, blood red color; is very sweet, 
crisp and tender. For a First Extra Early forcing variety or 
for early outdoor planting to bunch and sell for greens, it is 
unexcelled. A few years ago we distributed free for trial sev- 
eral thousand packages of this Extra Early Variety so when 
we had seed enough to list it generally thousands of market 
gardeners and home planters would have no other. Our com- 
parative Trial Ground Test this year again proved it beyond 
a doubt the earliest of all turnip-shaped beets and the greatest 
money-maker in the list. Try it. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; 14 Ib., 90c; 
18 Ib., $1.50; Ib., $2.75, postpaid.
