*GARDENER’S MODEL — This out- 
standing beet was developed here on our. 
own farms. For over 30 years we have 
been selecting this strain. Every year 
an increasing number of home and mar- 
ket gardeners favor this beet. It has great 
uniformity. The interior color is much 
darker due to our selections. A splendid 
all around table beet for home or market. 
It‘is extremely 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 gardeners in many sections, espe- 
cially for early bunching. Seed of our 
own growing. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c;
