BEETS — (Continued) 
EARLY WONDER . yas 50 to 55 Days 
Valuable for home and market gardeners as a first early variety. Medium top, 
suitable for bunching. Roots flattened globe shape with small collar and tap 
root. We consider this dark red beet without doubt the finest early beet. 
GREEN TOP BUNCHING 56 to 58 Days 
Early, extremely attractive, flesh finer and less fiber than most bunching 
beets. Erect, medium sized tops, foliage attractive green that does not turn 
red or brown in fall. Roots round, smocth, slightly flattened when mature, 
flesh bright blood red. 
NEW YORK CANNER—Tall Top 56 to 58 Days 
A selection of Detroit Dark Red used extensively by canners. Roots are globe 
shape with small tap root, interior color blood red, excellent quality. The tops 
are dark green, tinged with red, and one-third taller than our Detroit Dark 
Red. Gives a large tonnage per acre and will stand tender and in good condi- 
tion over a long period. 
PERFECTED DETROIT 56 to 58 Days 
Our select stock of this variety is superb for canning and market. Small beets, 
nearly round, ideal for whole pack. When fully grown, holds canning stage 
over a long period. Globular shape, smooth, interior color deep dark red. Tops 
not quite as tall as our New York Canner but tall enough for mechanical 
harvesting. 
BEETS, MANGEL WURZEL 
One ounce will sow 100 feet _of row; four to five pounds will sow an acre. 
The roots give an enormous yield of valuable stock feed. Sow seed early in the 
spring 1 inch apart in rows 2/4 feet apart, covering 114 inches deep. Cultivate 
frequently. When the plants are 3 inches high, thin to about 10 inches apart. 
Giant Feeding Sugar (or Half Sugar Mangel) 
Intermediate in size between the large mangels and the sugar beets. The roots 
are white with bronze green tops, oval in shape and grow to a large size, half 
out of the ground. The roots contain a higher percentage of sugar and are 
therefore more valuable for feeding than the larger and coarser mangels. 
Mammoth Long Red 
The best cropper of all the mangels yielding from 30 to 50 tons to the acre. 
Has produced the largest yields at the field trials held at Cornell University. 
Roots are extremely large, quite long and grow well out of the ground. The 
quality of the roots for feeding value is high. Color light eal flesh white 
with rose tinge. 
BEET GREENS 
RED ROOT STRAIN

greens. Specially adapted for between seasons planting in greenhouses.
