This is an older variety from Burpees Fordhook collection. It is similar to Detroit Dark Red, Very dark red in both interior and exterior. Bulbs up nicely and is reasonably early. Beets are attractive, but not as uniform as more modern varieties. Not as relaible as the hybrids, lost about 25 % of plants to soil organisms.
