198 Condon’s Early Dawn 
Earliest of All—First on the Market—Very Attractive 
Rich Dark Red. Delicious Sweet and Tender 
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., 25c; 14 Ib., 65c;

202 Detroit Dark Red “Standard Strain” Short Top 
Detroit Dark Red beet has long been regarded as the standard of ex- 
cellence. It is very early, nearly as early as Egyptian, and greatly 
surpasses that variety in flavor. The color is rich, dark red, and the 
shape is globular. It is fine-grained in texture and has a small top. 
It is free from side or fibrous roots, being always smooth. It is ex- 
cellent for forcing, for a main spring and summer crop or for use 
in winter, as it is a good keeper. It cooks sweet, tender’ and crisp, 
and is in every way a standard sort for the market or home gar- 
dener. Has made a good crop in seven weeks from sowing. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 22c; 14 lb., 60c; 44 lb., 95c; lb., $1.75, postpaid.
