Detroit Dark Red Beets
This fine, dark red beet is the leader with me. I recommend it for either the home or market garden. I also sell large quantities of it to canning factories, as its uniform shape and dark red color make it very well liked for canning. My Beet Seed is grown by the leading beet see growers of this country and Europe. If there were only two varieties of Table Beets, I would choose Crosby's Egyptian for early home garden or market, and Detroit Dark Red for late home garden or market. The best beet grown for canners is Detroit Dark Red. The tops are small, dark green and red, the roots globular, very smooth; the flesh a deep red, shaded with black red zones. This beet is acknowledged by the beet seed specialists throughout the world as the most uniform in size, shape and color and of the highest quality. (10c per oz.) (25c per ¼ lb.) (90c per lb.) (10 lbs and up, 80c per lb.) prepaid. Wholesale price ($70.00 per 100 lbs). not prepaid.
