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.

GREEN TOP BUNCHING 
This is the roundest, smoothest, glossiest, most attractive of 
all the garden Beets. You will be delighted with its sleek 
appearance. The flesh is deep purplish red with lighter zones, 
fine grained and never ““woody.’’ The foliage is bright green 
and dces not bronze up when cooler weather comes. A good 
kind to can when about 11% inches in diameter.

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.

Detroit Dark Red Beet 
GREEN TOP WONDER 
Clifford Colburn, one of the best known growers in Western New York 
State, does very well with our Detroit Red Beet on his muck. 
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. 25¢; 14 Ib.° 606 
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 par- 
ticularly popular with the commercial canner who harvests his crop with 
machinery.
