DETROIT DARK RED 
The Unrivalled Main Crop Beet 
—Large Beets, Small taproot 
57 days. Cannot be surpassed for main crop pur- 
poses. One of the largest beets grown and a heavy 
cropper, producing large, globe shaped roots, de= 
licious, tender, and fine grained, small taproot, and 
free from any trace of woodiness or stringy tendency. 
Succeeds equally well at all seasons and is one of the 
best to sow in spring to succeed the extra early and 
medium crop sorts. 
The skin is an attractive blood-red and the flesh is 
dark red, practically zoneless. It is a popular variety 
for canning and good for freezing, retaining its fine 
color exceptionally well. Tops are small and grow 
upright. Flesh is solid, always tender and of a de- 
cidedly sweet flavor. Most valuable for succession 
sowings.

EARLY WONDER =» 
52 days. Its beautiful deep blood-red color, nearly 
globe-shaped root with almost no lighter zoning in 
the cross-section of the root, its small sized top and 
its smooth, clean, and small taproot make it a 
decided asset in the beet family. Matures evenly so 
that the entire crop may be gathered at one time. 
It is a very rapid grower, is very quickly in pre- 
sentable market shape, and because of its early 
maturity, it can be sown outside as late as July.
