12. The skin and flesh of "The Ameriran 

 Beauty" Beet are both a deep rich blood 

 crimson color. It matures just after the 

 Eclipse, has a most beautiful form being a 

 little deeper than round, medium in size, 

 generally about three inches in diameter, has 

 a remarkably smooth surface and a small 

 tap-root. It is exceedingly tender and delici- 

 ously sweet. The very dark, attractive leaves 

 are small and are borne on slender stems 

 which take up but little of the root. It is 

 particularly delicious on account of its ten- 

 derness and it is entirely free from flesh of a 

 stringy or woody character. In our exten- 

 sive trials last spring and summer we found 

 "The American Beauty" Beetsurpassed every 

 leading variety in color, shape, form, size of 

 leaves and root, tenderness and sweetness of 

 flesh and was only a few days behind the 

 Eclipse in maturing. As a Market, Shipping 

 or a Home Garden Beet 'American Beauty" 

 stands supreme. "We unreservedly recom- 

 mend every one of our customers to give it a 

 trial this spring and summer, for if planted 

 in the summer it will keep in perfect condi- 

 tion during the entire winter, losing none 

 of its tenderness, sweetness, or rich color 

 during the entire winter.

FLORIDA HIGH BUSH EGG PLANT. 



99. The Florida High Bush Egg' Plant has proved of the greatest 

 value to Southern truckers and shippers. It has been grown in Florida 

 for the past three or four years. It is remarkable for its vigorous growth 

 and productiveness, is very hardy, and will stand more cold weather than 

 the New York Improved. The hot sun does not blight the blossoms. 

 The plant has a characteristic leaf, unlike any other Egg Plant we know 

 of. It grows from three to four feet high, erect and sturdy, free from 

 thorns. Fruit is large, oblong in shape and purple, though not so deep a 

 color as the New York Improved. It resists drought and wet weather to 

 a wonderful degree, partly on account of its strong upright growth. It 

 stands the cold better, and is the only Egg Plant that stands shipping 

 from this section to the Northern markets under almost all circumstances. 

 It is of a large size, first-class shape and superior flavor. Its shipping 

 qualities are the very best. It brings the highest price in the Northern 

 markets, keeping its freshness and condition much longer than any other 

 variety. The growers realize good returns for this variety when all other 

 varieties have been reported "arrived in bad condition," and many would
