ECLIPSE—Makes rapid growth, top small of fine quality, larger than the Egyptian but not so dark in color. Very sweet, especially when young. DETROIT DARK RED—One of the best for market and home garden. Deep rich red, very desirable for canning. Leaves dark green, shaded with red. It is unsurpassed in quality. For general purposes we recommend this as the best beet for the home garden. Prices on all the above: Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; % lb., 35c; lb., $ Crosby's Egyptian BEETS EARLY WONDER. In size and shape this beet is very similar to Early Crosby. Because of its very bright color it is becoming very popular on the local market and we think it destined to become one of the best market varieties. It is very early, of good uniform size and a bright red in color, with a small top, making it very suitable for bunching. By all means try this variety.
