EARLY WONDER. (40 days.) Also known as 
Boston Crosby. Early, tender and sweet, 
dark red roots. This early beet is the result 
of yearly selection made over a period of 
time. As we offer it today it seems almost 
impossible to still further improve its ap- 
pearance and excellent quality. It is prob- 
ably the earliest of the small table beets 
for outside growing. The roots are flat to 
clobe in shape, of a beautiful deep red 
color, and of medium size.
