*GARDENER’S MODEL — This out- 
standing beet was developed here on our 
own farms. For over 35 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 mar- 
ket. It is extremely early, of smooth, uni- 
form shape. The flesh is rich red, en- 
tirely free from strings or core and un- 
usually 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, es- 
pecially for early bunching. Seed from 
our own selection. Pestpaid. Pkt. 15c; 
oz. 35c; 14 Ib. 85e; Ib. $2.00. 
PERFECTED DETROIT — This pro- 
duces taller tops than Detroit Dark Red

shape. On account of its nearly zoneless 
deep blood red flesh, it is popular for 
home 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 ten- 
der and blood red. We carry an extra
