BEETS 
212 Harris’ Special 
Crosby’s Egyptian 
We are proud of our stock of this grand beet 
for it is backed by over fifty years of careful 
breeding here on our farms. It is a very 
smooth, refined early type with good strong 
tops that hold their color well. 
The beets are very handsome, dark red in 
color with small tap roots. The smoothness 
and uniform shape of this strain make them 
the finest looking beets in the market, and 
they naturally command top prices. 
In recent years, both the deep red color and ' 
uniformity have been still further improved, 
and we can confidently say that this strain is 
without equal for fine shape, color, and quali- 
ty. See prices below. 
DETROIT DARK RED 
BROCCOLI 
1 oz. produces 2000 to 3000 plants. 4 oz. per acre. 
234 Waltham 29 (New) 
Excellent, Uniform Fall Type 
Developed by Dr. Robert E. Young of the 
Waltham Field Station, Mass. Not recom- 
mended for spring transplanting, but out- 
standing for fall crop. The uniform, stocky 
plants mature over a short period and pro- 
duce tremendous crops of large, broad cen- 
ter heads, fine budded and with evenly de- 
veloped curd. When these are cut, the strong 
side shoots bear good-sized tight heads, ex- 
cellent for freezing or market. The color is 
dark blue-green and this strain is the most 
uniform commercial stock we have ever seen. 
Especially adapted in the Northeast and 
along the Atlantic Coast. 
Note—Be sure your soil has adequate boron. 
Oz. 95c; 1/4 Ib. $2.90; Ib. $10.00. 10 Ibs. $80.

211 Crosby Green Top 
Bright Green Leaves, Excellent Roots 
Developed and grown entirely by us, this new 
strain of Harris’ famous Crosby beet has been 
a great success with our customers. They like 
the fresh look of the tall erect tops which hold 
their bright glossy green color in nearly all 
weather, spring, summer and fall, and bring 
premium prices on the market. 
The roots are of fine bunching type, smooth 
and early with slender tap roots and good 
color. Altogether a fine type and especially 
valuable in cool weather. Growers also prefer 
it as a beet to grow for greens, as it makes 
light colored, attractive looking tops quickly. 
For the best in bunching beets, grow Crosby 
Green Top. See prices below. 
CROSBY GREEN TOP—An excellent bunching beet. 
215 Detroit Dark Red—darris’ Special Strain—Famous for Color and Shape 
This is the best beet for late summer and fall trade. It is not only of excellent globe shape but 
has superb deep red color that is almost without equal. Harris’ Special Detroit Dark Red is a 
vigorous large-topped strain which is particularly fine for fall bunching, and is also perfectly 
suited for processing. Some canners choose Detroit beets grown from our seed in preference to 
all others. 
We have grown and selected this strain for many years on our farms and now we can confi- 
dently state that no better strain of Detroit beet can be obtained. It will produce heavier yields 
of smooth, round, dark red beets than any other. See prices below.

236 Catskill —Heavy Yields—Finest Sprouts 
Since the Joseph Harris Company first intro- 
duced Catskill, it has been universally recog- 
nized as the best variety to grow in the East. 
Expert growers in the Catskill mountain sec- 
tion, which produces the finest sprouts in the 
country, use it almost exclusively. They pre- 
fer its dwarf, compact, uniform growth and 
the heavy sets of large, firm, dark green 
sprouts. The quality and dependability of 
our strain make it by far the finest and 
most productive to be had.

232 DeCicco—For Early Crop 
Ready a week to ten days before Italian Green 
Sprouting, this is a popular early strain. Plants ro- 
bust and of rather light green color, producing large 
center heads and many side shoots. Rather large- 
budded. Oz. 55c; Ys Ib. $1.55; Ib. $5.00; 10 Ibs. $49. 
230 Italian Green Sprouting 
Calabrese Strain—Widely Adapted 
Our sure-heading stock of this standard type is be- 
ing used by more growers every year. It is medium 
early with large robust plants and produces the fine 
compact, tightly budded heads that the market 
wants. The side shoots develop freely and are of 
good size and fine type. A true, proven strain, suc- 
cessful in nearly all areas and adapted both for 
bunching and freezing. 
Oz. 55c; 1/4 Ib. $1.50; Ib. $4.85; 10 Ibs. $47.50. 
CATSKILL—By far the best kind.
