We send a leaflet on “The Planting and Care of 
Asparagus’’—sent with every order. 
TABLE BEETS 
One package of seed planted 2 inches apart, will make a row about 25 feet long; one ounce will make a row 
100 feet long. If you like greens, especially ‘‘Beet Greens,” sow the seed thickly in a broad row 4 to 6 inches 
wide, and when the tops are 3 to 5 inches tall, thin out and use the tops and roots as greens. This method of sowing 
tokes one ounce of seed for 20 feet of row. 
The best results are obtained on a deep, rich, sandy loam. Sow seed 1 inch deep, in drills 16 inches apart, as 
early as possible. If wanted very early, sow in hotbeds and transplant to open ground. Thin to stand 3 or 4 inches 
apart. Cultivate cleanly and thoroughly. For succession, sow at intervals until middle of July. 
DETROIT DARK RED 
For canning either whole, sliced or cubed when the bulbs are 
over 2 inches in diameter this strain of Detroit is by far 
the best. 
The most popular table and canning Beet grown. As a 
second-early variety, we recommend it for the home and 
market garden. Our special strain is more uniform in shape 
and color than the old Detroit Dark Red. The tops and tap 
roots are small and the leaves dark green, shaded red. Beets 
are round, smooth, and very dark red in skin and flesh, In 
tenderness and sweetness they are unsurpassed.

EARLY WONDER 

ee oe at We offer a Special Tall-Topped Strain of this splendid early 
Mary Washington and extremely attractive, round, bright red Beet. While the 
Asparagus small, young Beets are round in form, at maturity they be- 
come slightly flattened. They are very smooth and the skin 
deep red. The inside bright red with practically no light 
circle. It is very uniform in shape and size, and is popular 
with the market gardener and in the home garden for canning whole. A much more 
attractive Beet than the ordinary Early Wonder. Pkg. 15c; oz. 30c; 4 Ib. 75¢ 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN 
This is the best kind to grow when you want to use Beets when very small, say up to 
2 inches in diameter, 
Our special strain of this popular variety is better in many respects than the old one. It 
is globular, perfectly smooth, with short top, small tap root, and both skin and flesh dark 
in color. Much earlier than all other dark-fleshed varieties. That it is the very best early 
Beet for home or market gardens is amply proved by the many favorable comments that 
come to us. Pkg. 15c; oz. 30c; Y% Ib. 75¢ 

We are particularly proud of this strain of 
Detroit Dark Red Beet 
GREEN TOP WONDER 
A great favorite with the many gardeners who like “Beet greens.” Grows 
very rapidly, clean, bright green, tall foliage that does not turn bronze in 
cool weather. Splendid, nearly globe-shaped bulbs, red-skinned and with 
deep red flesh slightly zoned with a lighter shade. Very good quality. 
Pkg. 10c; oz. 20c; Y% Ib. 65¢ 
PERFECTED DETROIT 
This is a splendid Beet to grow in the fall, either for immediate use or for 
canning. The bulb is nearly round and very smooth. The flesh fine grained, 
never woody, solid red, perhaps not quite as uniformly so as our Short Top 
Strain of Detroit. Has seldom any light rings and is high in quality. The 
tops are abundant and tall growing. This Beet is particularly popular with 
the commercial canner who harvests his crop with machinery.
