We have indicated the number of days commonly required to produce roots ideal for bunching, the seed being sown May 1. TABLE VARIETIES CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN (Original Strain) Splendid home and market garden sort. Tops medium in size; collar small. Root flattened globe-shape, with small tap root; very dark purplish-red. Flesh deep purplish-red zoned with a lighter shade; crisp and tender. DETROIT DARK RED, FERRY'S STRAIN The original strain developed by us many years ago. Top taller and more erect than the Morse Strain. Roots globe-shaped, symmetrical and with small collar and tap root. Interior color deep blood red. Retains its excellent quality until roots are fully grown. Equally desirable for canning, the home and market garden. DETROIT DARK RED, MORSE'S STRAIN A selection producing rounder, darker colored roots than the Ferry Strain. Top small to medium height. Unexcelled as a market garden strain and also very popular for canning where extra dark color and a high proportion of round beets in smaller sizes is wanted. PERFECTED DETROIT Somewhat coarser in both top and root than the Ferry or Morse Strains. Tops medium to tall, leaves green tinged with red. Interior deep blood red, a trifle darker than the Ferry Strain. Desirable where large top and heavy tonnage is the main factor. An excellent strain for canning. EARLY BLOOD TURNIP For home and market garden. Tops medium to tall; excellent for greens. Roots flattened globe-shaped; dark purplish-red. Flesh deep purplish-red zoned with a lighter shade. Days 58
