Desirable for Home Gardens. 45 days 



We have a strain of extra purity and 

 merit, particularly noted for earliness. It 

 is indeed high praise to say that our 

 Eclipse beet is almost as early as 

 Crosby's Egyptian, for the latter has 

 been long accepted as one of the earli- 

 est; Eclipse has ever been recognized as 

 superior to Egyptian in table value. Our 

 strain has small top and is smooth, fine 

 grained and tender, with bright red col- 

 or. Maturing in 45 days. For home gar- 

 dens it is one of the best.
