TABLE BEETS 
CULTURE—Plant in rows 2 to 2% feet apart, 
with drill, April 1 to July 15. Thin to 3 or 4 inches 
apart for table beets and 8 to 12 inches for mangels. 
For winter beets the latest sowing is best. 
PRICES—Unless noted are uniformly: 
Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; %4 Ib. 65ce; 
Ib. $1.75. 
*GARDENER’S MODEL—This decided 
improvement over Early Model is so 
much better, so different from the orig- 
inal Early Model that’we changed the 
name thus properly identifying this out- 
standing new beet. A splendid all around 
table beet for home or market. It is ex- 
tremely early, of smooth, uniform shape. 
The flesh is dark red, entirely free from 
strings or core and unusually sweet. The 
tops stand tall and erect. Valuable for 
both greens and roots. This variety will 
stand longer than any and still keep 
tender. Generally immune to curly top 
disease. Very popular with market gar- 
deners in many sections, especially for 
early bunching. Seed of our own growing. 
Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; %4 Ib. 75c; 
Ib. $2.25. 
PERFECTED DETROIT — This pro- 
duces taller tops than Detroit Dark Red 
with roots of more flattened turnip 
shape. On account of its nearly zoneless 
deep blood red flesh, it is popular for 
home and commercial canning. 
DETROIT DARK RED — Splendid for 
market or home gardens and popular with 
canneries. Roots nearly round, very uni- 
form and of medium size; flesh tender 
and blood red. We carry an extra select 
strain. Splendid for canning and the out- 
standing beet for deep red color. 
STRAWBERRY CROSBY—Extremely 
early. Popular with market gardeners 
who wish this color. Flesh very tender 
and sweet and rich vermillion red. The 
exterior color is strawberry red. Post- 
paid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 14 Ib. 70c; Ib. $2.00. 
CROSBY EGYPTIAN — Our special 
stock is ideal for market gardeners. Flat- 
globe or turnip shaped beets with small 
tap roots and dark red skins. Flesh purp- 
lish red with light zones. Matures quite 
early. Smooth beets free from side roots. 
EARLY WONDER—A deep blood red 
beet, nearly globe shaped, with small, 
clean tap roots and small erect tops. One 
of the earliest and most uniform bunch- 
ing beets that can be grown and also very 
fine for late planting. They mature very 
evenly. 
EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN—The ear- 
liest sort with rather flat roots of fine 
quality. 
GREEN TOP BUNCHING — Greenish 
red tops, ideal for beet greens, also fine 
for bunching. Deep red flesh.
