BEETS 
One ounce of seed will sow 60 feet of row, a packet 15 feet. Ten pounds will sow an acre in rows 14 inches apart. 


x Beets are one of the best vegetables to grow in the home garden. A few 
rows in the garden will give you delicious tender beets throughout the 
season. Sow some early in the spring, and again a few weeks later for a 
succession. It is an excellent plan to make a sowing in July for use in the 
fall. These young beets are not only a very welcome addition to your fall 
vegetables but when put in a pit or root cellar and covered with sand, 
will keep in tender condition for use during the winter. 
Sow in rows 14 to 18 inches apart, dropping 2 or 3 seeds to an inch of 
row. Cover 14 to | inch deep (the latter if the ground is dry). Thin to 
about 3 inches apart while the plants are still small.

212 CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN. HARRIS’ SPECIAL STRAIN. 
The Best Early Garden Beet. 
There is no better early garden beet than our strain of Crosby’s 
Egyptian. We have been raising seed of this beet for nearly 40 years 
and have a strain that is unequalled for fine shape and color. Our strain 
has a deep red color that is almost as good as Detroit, and is much 
superior to most strains. The beets are of uniformly excellent shape, 
only slightly flattened, very smooth and with very slender tap roots. 
They mature quickly, being as early as any variety. 
Market gardeners find this the best beet for early bunching, as the 
attractive appearance of the beets commands highest prices on the 
markets. The beets grow quickly and for fine early beets in the home 
garden this strain is unequalled.

Crosby’s Egyptian, Harris’ Special Strain 
Grow these for early crop. 
915 DETROIT DARK RED. Harris’ Special Strain. The exceptionally fine 
quality of this beet has made it one of the most 
popular kinds for the home, market, garden and canning. For fall use in the home 
garden it has few equals. Seed sown in July will produce beautiful, tender, dark red 
beets, superior to use in the fall and to store for winter. 
The beets are smooth, and uniform, with a solid, rich, deep red throughout. Our 
stock is outstanding for fine color. 
We have grown and selected this strain for many years on our own farm and we 
can confidently state that there is no better Detroit Dark Red beet to be obtained.

222 LONG SEASON. Also called “‘Winter Keeper.”’ Finest Quality. No 
garden is complete without some Long Season beets. 
They are rather late and somewhat rough in shape but there is no finer beet to eat 
in the summer and to store for winter. No matter how big they grow, they remain 
just as sweet and tender as tiny young beets and they have a delicious flavor all their 
own. See photo and full description on page 3.

we have tested. Harris’ Special Detroit Dark Red Be
