. The growing of Beets constitutes an 
important commercial trueking industry 
in the South. Beets are also a good 
home-garden vegetable. The young 
plants are considered to be superior to 
spinach and turnips for greens. Reuter’s 
Beet Seed is carefully bred and selected 
to produce smooth, uniform, beautifully 
formed, and attractive blood-red Beets 
of the finest quality.
