MAULE’S BLOOD TURNIP BEET. 
.Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet 
The Best of Them All ; 
Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet has given such excellent satisfaction that it still retains its posi- 
tion at the head of our list, and for years the amount of catalogue space occupied by illustrations 
and devoted to descriptions of this variety, has been unquestionably one of the m10s : profitable in 
our Seed Book. Last year we sold 26,412 separate 10-cent packets of this beet. To 8,892 other 
customers we sold an ounce package. We doubtif so many packets and ounces of any beet previously 
introduced by other seedsmen were sold at retail to so many different customers. We first gave 
prominent notice to Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet in our catalogue of 1889; the sales then were 
large, but today, 26 years later, they are five times greater than ever. A consistent steady demand 
from the same people year after year for 10 to os pounds of this variety should be sufficient 
endorsement for all gardeners to know that in planting Maule’s Blood T urnip, they are planting 
as good a turnip beet as can be found the world over, and a variety that owing to its small top 
makes it especially desirable for bunching. Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet is very early, nearly as 
early as Egyptian, and greatly surpasses that variety in flavor. The color is a rich dark red, and 
shape is globular. It is free from side or fibrous roots, being always smooth. It is excellent for 
forcing for a main spring or summer crop, or for use in winter, as it is a good keeper. It always 
cuts and cooks a rich, dark blood red;. is tender, sweet and crisp, and is in every way the 
standard sort for the market or home gardener. Has made a good crop seven weeks from 
sowing. Maule’s Blood Turnip Beet, has long been regarded as the standard of excellence by 
more than 38,000 successful gardeners, who plant it year after year in preference to any other. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.75; 10 pounds, $15.00, postpaid.
