212 Harris’ Special 
Crosby’s Egyptian 
Harris’ Crosby is without question the best 
early bunching beet obtainable. It is very early, 
makes a good strong top and the leaves hold 
their bright, green color even in cold weather. 
(It is better than many of the so-called ‘‘green 
top” strains in this respect. ) 
The beets are very handsome, dark red in 
color with small tap roots. Recent improve- 
ments have made the interior color almost as 
good as Detroit. The smcothness and uniform 
shape of this strain make them invariably the 
finest looking beets in the market, and they 
naturally command top prices. 
We are proud of our stock of this grand beet, 
for it is backed by over thirty years of careful 
breeding here on our own farms. As we have 
said many times, ‘‘Every one a model for shape 
and color.’ See prices below. 
ARASAN is now established as the best seed 
treatment for beets. It improves stands and 
protects against damping off. Inexpensive 
and highly effective. 34 oz. treats 5 lbs. of 
Beet Seed. HARRIS’ SPECIAL CROSBY BEETS

215 Detroit Dark Red 
Harris’ Special Strain 
Famous for Fine Color, Good Shape and Big Yields 
This is the best beet for late summer and fall 
trade. It is not only of excellent globe shape 
but has a superb deep red color that is without 
equal. Harris’ Special Detroit Dark Red is a 
vigorous large topped strain which is particu- 
larly fine for fall bunching, and is also perfectly 
suited for canners. We know canners who 
insist on Detroit beets grown from our seed in 
preference to all others. 
We have grown and selected this strain for 
many years on our farms and now we can con- 
fidently state that no better strain of Detroit 
beet can be obtained. It will produce heavier 
yields of smooth, round, dark red beets than 
any other. 
Our seed crops again this year have been 
very good and we offer our customers fine seed
