Perfected Detroit Dark Red Beet 
SPECIAL STOCK 

Twilley’s Perfected Detroit Dark Red as grown under irrigation by a customer. 
Note the good yield, and the strong erect tops. 
For the average grower, Perfected Detroit has more good qualities than any other variety. 
It is superior in dark red color. Grows 95% true to exactly the same shade of dark red, and 
does not show any white rings. Beets are globe, very smooth and uniform. This strain has 
a strong erect top that makes it show up well as a bunch beet. If grown in soil that becomes 
hard or bakes, it has strong enough top to pull well. The beets retain their dark red color and 
good quality if left until fully grown. Excellent for a bushel or basket variety. Unsurpassed 
for bunching, canning, or long distance shipping. 
Prices: Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4, lb. 55c; 14 lb. 9c; 1 lb. $1.75; 2 lbs. $1.70 per lb.; 5 lbs. $1.65 
per lb. Postpaid. 
Special Detroit Dark Red Beet 
Uniform Roots - Finest Quality 
DRK RED Of all varieties Special Detroit has the 
ROOTS most perfect color. The flesh is so red 
that the roots seem a solid ball of blood 
red meat. 
UNIFORM This strain is perhaps the best of all va- 
SHAPE rieties for uniformity of size and shape 
of roots, also for unformity of height and 
color of tops. Note the beets in this photo, as pulled in 
the field, are free from side roots, and have a very smail 
tap root. You can see that when washed they make a 
fine appearance. Very easy to bunch because of uni- 
form size. 
SUGGESTED After observing this beet growing in 
CULTURAL many sections we recommend that you 
METHODS do not plant it on heavy land that bakes 
hard during long periods of dry weather. 
This strain has a small top, and under such conditions 
is sometimes difficult to pull if the beets are allowed to 
become large and fully mature. The tops of Special 
Detroit, when fully grown, are 12 to 15 inches as com- 
pared to 16 to 20 inches for Perfected Detroit. On loose 
soils, and under irrigation, this variety cannot be sur- 
passed for all around quality. 
Prices: Pkt. 10c: oz. 20c;: 14 lb. 55c: 1 lb. 90c; 1 lb.
