DETROIT 
DARK RED 
Cannot be surpassed for main 
erop purposes. One of the larg- 
est beets grown and a heavy 
cropper, producing large, globe- 
shaped roots, delicious, tender, 
and fine grained, small tap-root, 
and free from any trace of 
woodiness or stringy tendency. 
Succeeds equally well at all sea- 
sons and is one of the best to 
sow in spring to succeed the 
extra early and medium crop 
sorts. 
The skin is an attractive blood- 
red and the flesh is dark red, 
practically zoneless. It is a pop- 
ular variety for canning retaining 
its fine color exceptionally well. 
Leaves are dark green, shaded 
with red, tops are small and grow 
upright. The flesh is solid, always 
tender and of a decidedly sweet 
flavor. Matures in about 50 days. 
Most valuable for succession sow- 
ings, A great favorite, not only 
with market gardeners who grow 
for profit, but likewise with the 
home gardener. Re-selected seed.
