VEGETABLE SOYBEANS 
Soja Max 
Vegetable or edible soybeans have attained some popularity as a high protein health 
food either fresh, quick frozen or canned. At harvest time they remain in the high 
quality stage longer than other beans, thereby allowing a longer time for picking. 
Soaking pods in hot water for 5 minutes makes shelling much easier. It requires from 
3 to 4 weeks after green edible stage to reach the dry shell maturity. 
BANSEI HCDr 86 
An early variety extensively used by commercial canners and adapted for production 
of ripe beans in regions of short season. Also a fine home garden variety for green 
shelling. Very productive, with some resistance to shattering. Plant erect and of me- 
dium height. Pods yellow with black tinge. Seeds large and yellow.

TABLE VARIETIES 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN HM 55 
An early beet for home and fresh market use. Tops are large and upright, green with 
red veins. Roots are dark red, from flattened to globe in shape, and smooth, with slen- 
der tap root. Flesh purplish red with white zones, fine textured. 
DETROIT DARK RED HMSCF 58 
The most important variety, widely used as a main crop sort by gardeners, shippers, and 
processors. A good keeper. Medium short tops that are uniform and refined, dark 
green becoming tinged with red. Roots approach globe shape while still small. Smooth, 
slender tap root. Flesh is deep blood red. By splitting mother roots lengthwise, Corneli 
plant breeders have maintained in our strain a uniform, dark red interior with a mini- 
mum of zoning. 
DETROIT PERFECTED G 60 
The leading commercial canning variety. Tops are tall, permitting mechanical har- 
vesting, and are green, tinged with red. Roots approach globe shape at an early stage 
and are smooth with slender tap roots. Fine for canning as whole small beets, or sliced, 
or cut. Flesh is dark red, tender and sweet with indistinct zoning. Uniform, dark red 
interiors are maintained in this variety by lengthwise splitting of mother roots, as with 
Detroit Dark Red. All America Selections Silver Medal 1934,
