color, and of excellent quality 

 50c. lb. 



EDMAND'S. "While not strictly a first early beet it follows very 

 closely and is the most uniform of all Turnip Beets, with very 

 small tops and short foliage of a rich red. The roots are hand- 

 some and round, very smooth ; of good marketable size, and for 

 table use no variety can excel it in fine quality. The skin is 

 deep blood-red ; the flesh also is dark red and exceedingly sweet 

 and tender. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 50c. lb. 



DEWING' S IMPROVED BLOOD TURNIP. An improved 

 variety of the Early Blood Turnip, of deep blood-red color, fine 

 form and flavor ; an excellent market sort. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 

 10c. oz., 20c. y A lb., 55c. lb. 



LONG SMOOTH BLOOD-RED. An excellent late variety; a 

 great improvement on the common Long Blood. (See cut.) 5c. 

 pkt.. 10c. oz., 20c. M lb.. 55c. lb. 



SWISS CHARD, SILVER OR SEA-KALE BEET. This 

 variety is grown for its leaves only ; the middle of the leaf is 

 cooked and served like Asparagus ; the other portions of the leaf 

 are used like Spinach. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 55c. lb. 



German, Runkel Rube. — French, Betterave. — Spanish, Betteraga. 

 1 oz. to 50 ft. of drill; 5 to & lbs. to the acre in drills. 

 The soil which is best suited is that which is rather light and thoroughly enriched with manure. For an early 

 supply sow in spring, as soon as the ground becomes fit to work, in drills about one foot apart and two inches 

 deep. For main crop sow the first week in May, and for winter use sow in June. 



If by mail in quantities of % lb. and upward, postage must be added at the rate of 8c. per lb. 

 ELECTRIC. (See Novelties, page 11.) 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 60c. }£ lb. 



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 of the Egyptian at least one-fourth more can be grown on 

 the same space than any other variety. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 lb., 55c. lb. 

 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 bitter 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. 34 lb., 70c. lb. 

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

 cious, with none of that earthy flavor so objectionable in many varieties. (See cut.) 

 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. J4 lb., 55c. lb. 



BASTIAN'S BLOOD TURNIP. A good second early variety 

 closely following Egyptian and Eclipse. 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 20c. 34 

 lb., 55c. lb. 

 HENDERSON'S HALF LONG. The engraving well portrays 

 the shape and general appearance of this grand table beet, but a 

 colored sketch is really necessary to give any idea of its rich, 

 tempting appearance. It is entirely distinct, and is the darkest 

 blood-red color known, never producing a "pale" or light-colored 

 beet, and is of tender, sweet quality at all stages of its growth. 

 A remarkable feature of Henderson's Half Long Beet is that it 

 never grows large and coarse even when allowed to remain in the 

 ground late in the fall. It comes in just after the early Turnip 

 varieties, and is also one of the best keeping winter beets we 

 have ever tried. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 40c. J^lb., $1.25 lb.
