*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 market 
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 selection. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 35c; 
4 Ib. 85c; Ib. $2.00. 
PERFECTED DETROIT — This pro- 
duces taller tops than Detroit Dark Red 
with roots of more flattened turnip 
shape. On account of its nearly zoneless 
deep blood red flesh, it is popular for 
heme and commercial canning. 
DETROIT DARK RED — Splendid for 
market or home gardens and popular 
with canneries. Roots nearly round, very 
uniform and of medium size; flesh tender 
and blood red. We carry an extra select

standing beet for deep red color.

lish red with lighter zones. Matures quite 
early. Smooth beets free from side roots. 
EARLY WONDER — Deep blood red, 
nearly globe shaped, with small, clean 
tap roots and small tops. One of the

late planting. They mature very evenly. 
EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN — The 
earliest; rather flat roots of fine quality.
