SALZER'S EARLY WONDER BEETS 
Its beautiful deep blood-red color, 
nearly globe-shaped root with almost 
no lighter zoning in the cross-section of 
the root, its small sized top and its 
smooth, clean, and small tap-root makes 
it a decided asset in the beet family. 
Matures evenly so that the entire crop 
may be gathered at one time. It is a 
very rapid grower, is very quickly in 
presentable market shape, and because 
of its early maturity, it can be sown 
outside as late as July. Matures in 44 
days.

SALZER'S | 
CHERRY BEET 
We first offered Salzer’s Cherry Beet in 
1938, the memorable Chicago World’s Fair 
year, as the Unknown Beet, and thou- 
sands planted it, to find it one of the 
nicest beets grown! Salzer’s Cherry Beet 
is a small, early beet, maturing in 52 days 
and is especially fine for canning and 
pickling whole at 1% to 1% inches in 
diameter. Roots are smooth, even in size 
and shape and almost perfectly globular. 
Tops and tap roots are very small. The 
flesh is an intense deep crimson, free 
from white zones, elegant in quality. 
Yields heavily. While it is a splendid 
beet for canning, its attractive color and 
small uniform size make it ideal for daily 
table use. The flesh is so fine grained, so 
sweet and tasty, that it almost sets a 
new standard for beet quality! Fine for 
both home and market. 160—Pkg., 10c;

shape, are rather  flat- 
tened, turnip shaped,
