211 CROSBY GREEN TOP (New). For Market Growers. 
60 days. We developed this strain for market growers 
who want bunching beets with fresh-looking bright 
green tops. Years of selection from our famous 
Crosby’s Egyptian produced this Green Top strain 
with its tall, erect leaves that stay an attractive 
glossy green color, even when the weather is cool and 
other strains turn red. 
The roots are an excellent bunching type, second 
only to our regular Crosby. They are early with a 
handsome smooth appearance, slightly flattened with 
fine tap roots and good color. This new Harris’ strain 
is a fine quality beet that we recommend highly.

219 EARLY WONDER. 60 days. Closely resembles a 
good strain of Crosby’s Egyptian. The beets are early, 
dark red and have medium tops, making an excellent 
beet for early bunching. Our strain is very fine and has 
proved to be much superior to other strains which 
we have tested.

210 ‘BEETS for GREENS.” Beet greens are both health- 
ful and appetizing, and they are one of the easiest and 
quickest vegetables to grow. This rapid growing,

greens quickly. The roots are rather flattened and un- 
even in shape but are used by some growers because

212 CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN. Harris’ Special Strain. The Best Early Garden Beet. 
60 days. There is no better early garden beet than our Crosby’s Egyptian. We have been 
raising seed of this beet for nearly 40 years and have a strain that is unequalled for fine 
shape and color. It has a deep red color that is almost as good as Detroit, and is much 
superior to most strains. The beets are of uniformly excellent shape, only slightly flat- 
tened, very smooth and with very slender tap roots. They mature quickly, being as 
early as any variety. 
Market gardeners find this the best beet for early bunching, as their attractive ap- 
pearance commands highest prices on the markets. They grow quickly and for fine early 
beets in the home garden this strain is unequalled.

215 DETROIT DARK RED. Harris’ Special Strain. The Best Main Crop Beet. 
65 days. The exceptionally fine quality of this 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.
