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 
globe in shape, of a beautiful deep red 
color, and of medium size.

EARLY BLOOD TURNIP 
DETROIT DARK RED. (50 days.) A highly 
bred, globe-shaped beet for home or market. 
We offer a special strain of this famous 
beet. It excels in uniformity of size, shape 
and color, being suited for home use, mar- 
ket sales, storing, shipping and canning. 
The roots are of medium size, smooth, per- 
fectly globe-shaped, and of attractive ap- 
pearance. The color of the flesh is a most 
intense deep red, showing no signs of any 
zones after cooking. It remains tender 
throughout and free from fibre until fully 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN. (42 days.) Medium size 
tops, roots flattened globe shape; flesh deep 
red, zoned lighter. Our strain of this quality 
beet is a decided improvement on the older 
forms of Egyptian and we claim there is no 
better early garden beet, as it increases in 
size so rapidly. The roots are larger and 
more globular though still somewhat flat- 
tened at the top, representing more or less 
of a turnip shape. The skin is.a very deep 
pod and the flesh is somewhat lighter in 
color.
