8 Condon’s Early Dawn 
Earliest of All—First on the Market—Very Attractive 
Rich Dark Red. Delicious, Sweet and Tender 
We consider this the finest early table Beet. 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 ~*~ 
unexcélled. 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 
i Les et ’ “Gm, gardeners and home planters would have no other. Our com- 
ae ie Sone ot ~ parative Trial Ground Test this year again proved it beyond 
tas : 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., 65e; 
16 |lb., $1.20; 1b., $2.25, postpaid. 
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. Small tap root. 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 Ib., 60c; 16 lb., 95c; lb., $1.75, postpaid.
