212 Harris’ Special 
Crosby’s Egyptian 
See Photo on Front Cover 
Harris’ Crosby is without question the best 
early bunching beet obtainable. It is very early, 
makes a good strong top and the leaves hold 
their bright, green color even in cold weather. 
The beets are very handsome, dark red in color 
with small tap roots. Recent improvements 
have made the interior color almost as good as 
Detroit. The smoothness and uniform shape of 
this strain make them invariably the finest 
looking beets in the market, and they naturally 
command top prices. 
We are proud of our stock of this grand beet, 
for it is backed by over thirty years of careful 
breeding here on our own farms. As we have 
said many times, “‘Every one a model for shape 
and color.’’ See prices below. 

HARRIS’ DETROIT DARK RED 
215 Detroit Dark Red 
Harris’ Special Strain 
Famous for Fine Color 
This is the best beet for late summer and fall 
trade. It is not only of excellent globe shape but 
has a superb deep red color that is without equal. 
Harris’ Special Detroit Dark Red is a vigorous 
large topped strain which is particularly fine for 
fall bunching, and is also perfectly suited for 
canners. We know canners who insist on Detroit 
beets grown from our seed in preference to 
all others. 
We have grown and selected this strain for 
many years on our farms and now we can confi- 
dently state that no better strain of Detroit 
beet can be obtained. It will produce heavier 
yields of smooth, round, dark red beets than Use the new ARASAN for treating beet seed.
