One ounce of seed will sow 80 feet of row, a packet 20 feet. Ten pounds will sow an acre in rows 14 inches apart. 
Sow beets early in the spring, and again a few weeks later for a succes- 
sion. It is an excellent plan to make a sowing in July for use in the fall. 
These young beets are not only a very welcome addition to your fall 
vegetables but when put in a pit or root cellar and covered with sand, 
We regret that we cannot offer seed of Harris’ Special Crosby’s 
Egyptian Beet this year because of failure of our seed crop. Next 
year we expect to have our own strain again, but in the meantime 
they will keep in tender condition for use during the winter. 
Sow in rows 14 to 18 inches apart, dropping 2 or 3 seeds to an inch of 
row. Cover 1% to 1 inch deep (the latter if the ground is dry). Thin to 
about 3 inches apart while the plants are still small. 
213 CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN. Fine for Early Crop. This is a 
very good early beet for table 
use or market. It has the flattened globe shape and fine tap roots that 
make a good bunching type. Another attractive feature is that the 
we suggest you try the excellent strain described at the right. 
medium tall tops hold their green color well. The roots grow rapidly 
and have a dark red skin and deep red flesh with indistinct lighter 
zones. The quality is excellent, tender and sweet. 
We checked many strains in our trials before finding such a satis- 
factory substitute as this one for our regular Crosby. It does not 
quite equal our special strain in uniformity, smoothness or color but 
is the best to be had for early beets in the garden or for bunching. We 
highly recommend it.

215 DETROIT DARK RED. HARRIS’ SPECIAL STRAIN. The Best Main 
Crop Beet. Lhe excepuonally ane quality Orb ais 
beet has made it one of the most popular kinds for market gardeners and canners, and 
for general use in the home garden it has few equals. Seed sown in July will produce 
beautiful, tender, dark red beets, superior to use in the fall and to store for winter. 
The beets are smooth and uniform, with a solid, rich deep red throughout. Our stock 
is outstanding for fine color and handsome even shape and it makes a vigorous healthy 
growth, with medium tall tops. Adapted for freezing as well as canning and fresh 
use, these beets have a rich, sweet flavor when cooked. 
We have grown and selected this strain for many years on our own farm and we can 
confidently state that there is no better Detroit Dark Red beet to be obtained.

210 “‘BEETS for GREENS.”’ Beet greens are both healthful and appetizing, and 
they are one of the easiest and quickest vegetables to grow. This rapid growing, large 
topped strain will produce an abundance of greens quickly. The roots are rather 
flattened and uneven in shape but are used by some growers because they are ready 
very early. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 14 Lb. 55c; % Lb. 80c; Lb. $1.40. 

Detroit Dark Red, Harris’ Special Strain 
222 LONG SEASON. Or ‘‘Winter Keeper.’’ Unsurpassed 

Quality. This beet has long been a 
favorite with our customers and each year makes a host of new 
friends who believe that no garden is complete without some Long 
Season. Its matchless flavor is so superior to any other beet that it 
must be tasted to be appreciated. 
It will remain tender and sweet all summer and fall and it will keep 
in fine condition all winter. It is by far the best quality table beet. It 
makes no difference whether the beets are young or old, small or 
large, they are always tender. The beets are a very deep red color 
throughout, and the large tops are light green. 
Do not depend on this beet for early use as it grows slowly but 
when the early-sown beets get tough and poor, the Long Season will 
be found to be of the finest quality. Even though they grow very 
large they are still just as tender as the young early beets and they 
retain their fine quality stored in a cold place for winter use, when 
your family will appreciate them most.
