81 Maule's Dark Red 

 Egyptian 



The Earliest of All for Home or Market 



The Egyptian beet is one of the most popular 

 varieties among market gardeners for forcing 

 purposes. Justly or unjustly it is considered to 

 be the earliest of all. It certainly will bear close 

 planting in the valuable space under glass or 

 in a warm garden in early spring. It is turnip 

 shaped, and when young Is crisp and tender. 

 In color it is dark red. Ready for use in 35 days. 

 Facbet, 10 cents; ouiice, HO cents; ^ 



quarter poand, 40 cents; pound, $1.35, 

 postpaid. 



84 Detroit Dark Red 



Excellent for the Home Garden or Canning 



This early globe-shaped beet of excellent 

 quality is especially esteemed on account of 

 its dark red color, which extends entirely 

 through the beet, and without the light colored 

 rings seen in some varieties. The medium 

 sized beets are smooth and handsome and are 

 now being largely used for canning as well as 

 for the home garden or market. It retains 

 its good quality even after it gets large, and is 

 an excellent variety on this account for fall use 

 as well as for spring. Maturing in about 50 days. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; 



quarter pound, 45 cents; pound, $1.50, 

 postpaid. 



7* Eclipse 



Especially Desirable for Home Gardens or Bunching 



We have a strain of extra purity and merit, 

 particularly noted for earllness. It is indeed 

 high praise to say that our Eclipse beet Is 

 almost or quite as early as Egyptian, for the 

 latter has been long accepted as the earliest of 

 all; and 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 color. Maturing in 45 

 days. For home gardens it is one of the best. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15 cents;

70 Maule's Early Wonder Beet 



Extremely Early, Deep Red, Tender and Sweet 



This wonderful early beet is the result of years' reselect- 

 ing and improving, and is now so perfected that we believe it 

 is one of the earliest and best turnip shaped beets grown. 

 It is much earlier than Crosby's Egyptian, maturing in about 

 40 days, of perfect shape and beautiful, deep red color. The 

 tops are not quite as large as Crosby's Egyptian, which 

 permits close planting and is excellent for bunching; a desir- 

 able early sort for the home garden as well as for market. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound, 60 cents; 

 pound, $3.00, postpaid.

82 Maule's Market Gardeners' Beet 



Always Good. Never Past Its Prime 



This all season table beet is one of the best for general cul- 

 tivation for home use or for market gardeners. Makes a very 

 rapid growth from the start, often larger than Egyptian, age 

 for age. It continues to grow for a long period, making a heavy 

 root for winter use. Only one sowing is necessary to produce 

 early beets for the table and a main crop for winter use. It is a 

 good keeper and may be used all winter. When cooked, it is 

 dark red in color, and of unsurpassed table quality. Fit for 

 use in 55 to 60 days. An all season's table beet for all purposes.
