59 days. The large beets, 3 to 4 in. across, are round but sometimes 
deeper than their diameter. Flesh is dark red, occasionally zoned, 
fine grained, tender and most agreeably sweet. Though it is a quick 
grower, the roots will keep a long time in storage. Splendid for the 
home garden and for market gardeners. It may be grown for early

beet of the highest quality. Retains its color when cooked.
