 EDMAN'S BLOOD TURNIP BEET. 



THIS is the most thoroughly fixed and uniform in type. The flesh is 

 deep blood-red in color, and exceedingly sweet and tender in qual- 

 ity; is round and smooth in shape, and of good market size. It 

 does not grow over-large, where room is permitted, as many 

 kinds are apt to do. It grows 

 a small top, and but a single 

 tap root, which fact commends 

 itself to the gardener's attention 

 who grows beets for bunching " 

 purposes. Pkt., 5c. Oz. 10c.

NEW IMPROVED EARLY 

 BLOOD TURNIP BEET.— 



It is extra early, especiallv 

 smooth, does not grow to be 

 over-large, has few roots and 

 more can be grown per acre by 

 one-half than either the Ed- 

 mand's or Old Blood Turnip. 

 It does not become stringy, 

 since it matures a beet of de- 

 decided uniform type and of 

 medium size. We especially 

 recommend it to you as a con- 

 venient variety for bunching.

THE remarkable demand and 

 the ever increasing popu- 

 larity of this beet would 

 compel us, if we had not 

 from our own tests passed-judg- 

 ment upon it, to rank it among 

 ths most valuable varieties we have for either market or private gar- 

 dens. It wav introduced from Germany as a selection or hybrid from 

 the famous Egyptian. It is remarkable for its very rapid growth, 

 the perfection of its form — which is globular— of its beautiful crimson 

 flesh and for its dwarf foliage. The roots are of a bright glossy red, 

 very fine grained, and of a delicious flavor. Pkt., 5c, Oz., lOc.

CULTURE OF BEETS. 



THE soil best suited for Beet culture is that which is rather light 

 and well enriched. Sow in drills one foot apart and oneinch deep 

 as early as the ground can be worked; when the plants ate large 

 enough, thin out to stand six inches apart in rows; ..continue 

 sowing for a succession as late as the middle of August. Keep well 

 cultivated.
