Y Extra Early Flat Egyptian.—This is a flat Beet, very early and deep red color, the earliest

/ Crosby’s Improved Egyptian Beet, Extra Early.—a very superior strain of Blood-Red 
Egyptian, carefully selected for years by Mr. Crosby, a noted market gardener, whose aim was to 
secure a perfect forcing variety. The results obtained were handsome form, good size, few small tops, very small tap 
root, fine quality, and, above all quick, rapid growth. The shape is very desirable, not quite so flat as the ordinary Egyp- 
tian, nor so round as the Eclipse. Takes on its turnip shape and looks well even in the early stages of its growth, on 
which account it is preferred for forcing to the Globe and Half-Long varieties, which require longer time to grow to 
presentable market shape. This is a decided advantage to those who force for real early market, and especially for a 
market where beets are sold in bunches. It is preferred toall others for forcing in frames or for first sowing outside. 
Being a rapid grower it may be sown outside as late 
as July. Pkg., 5c.;3%4 Ib., 15c., Ib., 85c. 
/ Extra Early Eclipse.—This is without doubt 
the best variety of the early sorts. It is very early, 
maturing next to the Egyptian. The bulbs are of a 
dark scarlet color, very smooth, globular shape, qual- 
ity is excellent and much better than Egyptian. 
Highly esteemed by market gardeners. Pkg., 5c.;

The value of these for stock feeding cannot be over-estimated. The results from their 
use are wonderful, as is already shown in the improved health and condition of animals, the 
increased yield of milk in cows, and the great saving of hay. They can be raised at a very 
trifling cost and yield immense crops per acre if the soil is rich. —

and favored wherever used. ¥ lb., 10c.; 1b., 25c.; 5 lbs., $1.00.

this country. It is not so sweet as the French Sugar Beets grown especially for sugar making, 
but the roots are longer and fine grained, very sweet. Pkg., 5c.; 4 1b, 10c.; lb., 25c. 
_/Golden Tankard.—An extremely desired and comparatively new variety, which is fast 
superseding the old sorts. Flesh bright yellow, and in this respect differs from all other vari- 
eties which cut white. ¥ Ib., 10c.; 1b., 25c.; 5 lbs. $1.00. 
» Vilmorin’s Improved Imperial.—A medium-sized white Sugar Beet, brought by 
the most careful selection to the highest perfection, both in shape, size and color of the root. 
\ Ib., 15c., Ib., 30c. 
_-~——«= Giant Yellow Intermediate.—At the Canadian Experiment Station in a test of 18 
varieties of Mangels this variety gave the largest yield. The roots grow to a nice oval shape 
intermediate between the globe and long Mangels. They grow fully half above ground so 
that they are very easily harvested. They attain a very large size and yield enormous cropson 
rich land. The roots keep perfectly all winter and are fine grained aiid excellent for feeding.
