Hew €xtra Deep Blood ^BSStf^^ 

 Beauty Beet Mf-^ & 



OUR long experience in the growing of Beets has 

 shown this new strain of Beet to be the best Ex- 

 tra Early deep-blood Turnip Beet, not only for 

 market gardeners, but home garden. Its small upright- 

 growing tops, extra early maturing, splendid shape and .af^,,.,. 

 deep crimson color make it popular with everyone. NIp»* 

 The rows may be grown close together. In the leaf the 

 stem and veins are dark red, the blade green. The 

 roots are globular and peculiarly smooth; color of skin 

 and flesh is deep blood red, very crisp, tender, fine- /I 



grained and sweet, remaining so for a long time. We fVF^I 



believe this excellent new stock will produce a crop 

 more uniform in shape, color and quality than any | 

 Beet ever placed in the hands of the trucker. PKt. 5c,

CHE remarkable demand and the ever increasing popularity of this Beet would 

 compel us, if we had not from our own tests passed j udgment upon it, to rank 

 it among the most valuable varieties we have for either market or private 

 1 gardens. It was introduced from Germany as a selection or hybrid from the 

 |g| famous Egyptian. It is remarkable for its very rapid growth, the perfection of its 

 S 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.

CULTURE OF BEETS. i.~~~~ —-.— X 



CHE soil best adapted for Beet culture is that which is rather light and well 

 enriched. Sow in drills one foot apart and one inch deep as early as the 

 ground can be worked; when the plants are 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. 



It's your confidence we want first, then your trade. It's our prices that please you first, then our qualities.
