Isbell's Super Detroit Dark Red Beets
It is truly a super strain of the well known and popular Detroit Dark Red. The roots are smooth and even in size, the flesh being of uniform deep blood red color, decidedly fine grained, crisp and sweet. Our grower has eliminated the red tinged tops and one sees now in a large field of beets only the uniform bright green foliage which makes them more valuable for cooking as beet-greens. We recommend it to the large market grower as well as to the home gardener on account of fine quality, even size and good color. For canning especially you will find this beet to be all that could be desired. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; ¼ lb., 45c; lb., $1.50, prepaid.
