IMPROVED ARLINGTON. Of medium 

 size and a dark rich blood-red color. One 

 of the strongest points in favor of this 

 variety is the fact that it does not get bit- 

 ter and stringy when it is a little old, as is 

 the case with many other varieties, but is 

 sweet and tender at all times. Its grand 

 quality, uniform shape and beautiful color 

 leave nothing to be desired in this grand 

 Beet. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 25c. % lb., 60c. lb. 

 EARLY BLOOD TUR-

V h "Electric" B Beet. 



The Ideal Table Beet, fine grained, rich red flesh, exceedingly tender, remark- 

 ably early. Combines more good qualities than any other round Beet. 



In the Electric we have more good qualities than were ever before 

 combined in one Beet. It is almost round, leaves small and compact, 

 and set very close to the centre ; tap-root small, starting from the 

 bulb without taper; indeed, it combines the maximum of edible bulb 

 with the minimum of root and foliage. The color Is very dark crim- 

 son, changing alternately into rings of a lighter hue. Tho constancy 

 of color largely enhances its value. It is extremely early, coming in 

 with Extra Early Egyptian. But it is when prepared for the table 

 that its fine qualities become most apparent, the fine rich color mak- 

 ing it conspicuous. The flesh, of delicate texture, rich and sugary.

 EGYPTIAN TURNIP. A standard sort, being from ten to twelve 



days earlier than the old Blood Turnip. The roots are large in size, 



and of a rich, deep crimson color. From the smallness of the tops 



at least one-fourth more can be grown on the same space than any 



other variety. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. j£ lb., 55c. lb. 

 ECLIPSE. This variety is a great acquisition, has become exceed- 

 ingly popular, and is one of the best early sorts. It possesses all 



the qualities requisite in a first-class Beet, and is of a uniform 



globular shape. The roots are a bright glossy red, fine-grained and 



delicious, with none of that earthy flavor so objectionable in many 



varieties. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. % lb-> 55c. lb. 

 DETROIT DARK RED. It has proven to be very valuable because 



of its wonderful uniformity in character. It is medium in size, 



always smooth and very free from small roots. The tops are about 



18 inches in height and of most attractive color. The flesh is ten- 

 der, fine-grained, and remains so, long after many sorts have become 



woody. It is admirable for early or late marketing. 5c. pkt., 10c.

 EDMAND'S. The most uniform of all Turnip Beets, with very small 



tops and short foliage of a rich red. The roots are handsome and 



round, very smooth, of good marketable size, and for table use no 



variety can excel it in fine quality. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. }^ lb., 55c. lb.
