BEETS 
CROSBY GREEN TOP 
211 Crosby Green Top 
The Best Bunching Type 
We developed this exclusive green-topped 
beet out of our famous Harris’ Special Crosby, 
and it has now become the most popular 
bunching strain in many sections. The tall 
erect tops hold their fresh look and their 
bright glossy green color all season long, even 
in cool weather when other strains get red- 
dish and dull. 
The roots are of the finest bunching type, 
smooth-skinned, refined and well-colored. 
The uniform shape with slender tap roots, to- 
gether with the green tops makes them bring 
premium prices. For the best in bunching 
beets, plant Crosby Green Top. Also valuable 
to grow for greens. See prices at right.

1 oz. produces 2000 to 3000 plants. 4 oz. per acre. 
233 Green Mountain (New) 
A new early strain, well-liked in some areas 
for both market and freezing. The bluish- 
green center heads are fairly small-budded, 
and have branched stems that may be easily 
divided for the freezers. Lateral shoots de- 
velop rather slowly but the type is good. 
Matures early, adapted especially for spring 
and summer crop. Plants uniform in type and 
very productive.

212 Crosby’s Egyptian 
Harris’ Special Strain 
Constantly selected and improved here on 
our farms for many years, this fine early 
bunching beet is a medium-topped type of 
excellent color, appearance and quality. The 
roots are smooth, slightly deeper than most 
Crosby strains but with very fine tap roots. 
While the tops of this strain hold their 
color well, we suggest Crosby Green Top for 
markets where color of top is most important. 
See prices below.

DETROIT DARK RED 
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 excellent for 
processing. Some canners choose Detroit beets grown from our seed before 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.

best variety to grow in the East. Expert growers in many of the best sprout growing sections now use 
it almost exclusively. They prefer 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

234 Waltham 29 (New) 
Uniform—Excellent for Fall Crops 
This variety has rather short stocky plants 
maturing evenly over a short period. It pro- 
duces tremendous crops of large, broad center 
heads, fine budded, of dark blue-green color 
and with evenly developed curd. When these 
are cut, the strong side shoots bear good sized, 
tight heads, excellent for freezing or market. 
Outstanding for uniformity and yield. 
Not recommended for spring transplanting, 
but excellent for fall crop, especially in the 
Northeast and along the Atlantic Coast. De- 
veloped by Dr. R. E. Young of the Waltham 
Field Station, Mass. 
Note: Be sure your soil has adequate boron.
