MAULE’S MARKET GARDENERS’ BEET. 
» Maule’s Market Gardeners’ 
Always Good. Never Past Its Prime 
This grand beet is one of the best on our list for general 
cultivation by market gardeners and farmers. Makes a very 
rapid growth from the start, often larger than Hgyptian, age 
forage. It continues to grow for a long period, making a heavy 
root for autumn or winter use. Only one sowing is necessary 
to produce early beets for market and a main crop for winter 
use. The quality is first-rate at all periods of growth, whether 
the beet weighs a quarter of a pound or six pounds. Itisa 
good keeper and may be used all winter. When cooked, it is 
of a beautiful, dark red color throughout, and of unsurpassed 
table quality. The illustration shows the exact shape of the 
Market Gardeners’ beet. It is symmetrical in form and of 
decidedly handsome appearance. There are but few fibrous 
roots and the top is small. It should appeal strongly to business 
gardeners and to everybody wanting an all season’s table beet.

ss Detroit Dark Red 
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 can- 
ning 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 wellas forspring. We havea very fine strain 
of this beet, being of uniform globe shape, small 
tops and very dark red.
