Eighty-five super-standard strains season of Eighty-five super-standard strains season of 1927 eightyfivesupers1927fran Year: 1927 STOKES CXOVITXC SINCE SEEDS SUPER-STANDARD STRAINS Two Distinct Strains of Crosby Beets Seven pounds will plant an acre Crosby Bright Egyptian A fresh-appearing, bright-red bunch type for spring planting Days to maturity, 45. The buyers in the spring markets will very often pay a higher price for Beets which are a fine bright red color. Somehow, it seems that they appear fresher and more at- tractive than the darker types. For the second year we offer Crosby Bright Egyptian to cover this requirement. As contrasted with Crosby Dark Egyptian, this strain has an attractive light red exterior. The interior is a rich vermilion red.' In other respects this strain is very similar to the Dark Egyptian offered on this page. Crosby Bright Egyptian is extremely early, having small tops which grow to about 15 inches. In shape the root is a slightly flattened globe. The stock is a pure one, being of uniform shape and comparatively free from side-roots. While we do not recommend Crosby Bright Egyptian for canners or for production for the late markets, when Beets are usually topped and barreled, we do offer it as a distinctly superior strain for spring planting. This strain has proven remarkably profitable to a number of our customers who have put out large plantings of it, both with and without irrigation.
