MAUI/E'S DARK RED EGYPTIAN.— Absolutely the most popular beet among md,r- 

 ket gardeners for forcing purposes; considered by many the eai-liest of all. Roots are turnip 

 shaped, and when young are hard, crisp and tender; color a very dark red. 1 can particularly 

 recommend my strain to those desiring to sow the best strain of Egyptian Beet on the mar- 

 ket. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; ^ pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents; 5 pounds, $2.50. 



ECLIPSE My special strain of this popular beet is as early as the Egyptian, and by 



many of my customers is considered to be of better quality and flavor. It has a remarkably 

 small top, is very smooth, fine grained and tender. Bright red in color. During the last few 

 years many of "my market gardening friends have discarded Egyptian for this strain of 

 Eclipse Beet, and each year witnesses an increased demand for this variety. Packet, 5 cents; 

 ounce, 10 cents; H pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents; 5 pounds, $2.50.

 same time, or a little later, than Eclipse. It is very rich and sugary, and is highly thought Of 

 by all who have ever sown it. Flesh is in alternate rings of light and dark pink, but boils red. 

 It is a very smooth variety, and a decidedly profitable one for marketing. Packet, 5 cents;

MAULE'S BLOOD TURNIP The Blood Turnip Beet is known the world over as a most 



desirable varietv, and there are any number of strains, good, bad and indiflfereut. Having 

 grown what I consider the most desirable and carefully selected of all these various stocks, I 

 have for several years been supplying it to thousands of my customers to their entire satis- 

 faction.- It is nearly as early as Eg'vptian, but surpasses the latter variety in flavor. Color, a 

 rich dark red; roots, fine grained, globular shape, with small top. Free from side or fibrous 

 roots, always remarkably smooth. Excellent for forcing and a very superior keeper, thus 

 making it also desirable for winter use. Cooks sweet, tender and crisp, and in every way may 

 be considered the standard sort for the market and home gardener. Has made a good crop 

 seven weeks from sowing. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 14 lb., 30 cts.; lb., Sl.OO; 5 lbs., $3.00.
