 early and deep red color, the earliest Beet in cultivation,

Crosby's Improved Egyptian.— We believe this to be one 

 of the earliest varieties in existence. It was originated by 

 Joseph Crosby, and is a great improvement on the old 

 Egyptian, being thicker, handsomer, and more regular in 

 shape, smooth, with very small tops and small tap root. 

 It is of perfect shape when small, thus making a good Beet 

 for bunching, and is very popular with the market garden- 

 ers for this purpose. Pkt., 5c; % lb., 15c; lb., 40c. 



Extra Early Eclipse.— This is without doubt the best 

 variety of the earlv sorts. It is very early, maturing next 

 to the Egyptian. The bulbs are of a dark scarlet color, very 

 smooth, globular shape, quality is excellent and much better 

 than Egyptian. Highlv esteemed by market gardeners.;
