AULE’S IMPROVED LONG RED BEET. 
The best strain of long dark red beet in the market, and especially desirable for 1 
or fall use. Excellent for the table as well as a feed for cattle, as 12 tons haye been 
tothe acre. Shape is wellshown in the cut above. Sweet, tender, richcarmine. Nog 
should be without at least a few beets of this variety. Once sown you will always wa 
them. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 44 pound, 30 cents; pound, 90 cents. 
MARKET GARDENER’S BEET. 
The best general purpose beet incultivation. As will be noticed from the illustration here: 
with, which is an exact representation of this desirable variety reduced in size. Very 
symmetrical in form, but few fibrous roots and unusually small top. Atthe age of Egyp- 
tian it is larger, and continues to grow until late 
in fall, attaining large size,and making a good 
Selling and eating beet for winter. By Ist of Oct. 
they measure 8 inches in diameter, and average 
6 pounds in weight. One sowing only is necessary 
to produce early beets for market and main crop 
for winter use, which is not the case with any 
other variety. Color outside is deep blood red; in- 
Side layers blood red and light red alternate- 
ly. When cooked they are a beautiful dark red 
throughout, fine grained and unsurpassed quali- 
ty. For market gardeners it is the most profitable 
beet of any I know of. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 
20 cents; 44 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.75.

sends me the largest and best shaped Market 
Gardener’s Beet,on or before Oct. 15, 1896.

NEW CARDINAL BEET. 
This is a variety I picked up in England, and in- |; 
troduced last year for the first time. It is extremely 
early, being ready for market, six weeks from sow- 
ing. Shape is well shown in illustration, which is 
taken from a photograph. Flesh is dark crimson, 
changing alternately into rings of a lighter color, 
very tender and of delicate flavor. As an attractive 
beet for the table, there is no better. When cooked | 
itis a beautiful solid crimson, and of rich, sugary |* 
flavor, entirely free of fibre. Ready for market as 
early or earlier than Egyptian and of more desirable 
shape. I can highly recommend it to all my 
friends. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 4 pound, 
35 cents; pound, $1.00. 
ELEPHANT’S TRUNK PEPPER. 
This variety really needs no description; its name and illustration herewith fully describe 
it. Grows fully as large as Ruby King, and while not so thick through it is about double the 
length. The fruit is very fleshy and of a bright searlet color; and as stated above is very long, 
frequently measuring 10 to 12 inches in length, and 3 to 4 inches broad; flavor mild and pleasant. 
The plants are wonderfully prolific, producing an abundance of large, solid peppers, re- 
sembling in shape an elephant’s trunk, hence its name. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 40 cents. 
WHITE WONDER CUCUMBER. 
Very handsome in appearance and of fine quality. The cucumbers are thickly set and 
average about eight inches long, very brittle, and remain solid for a long time. The

color is always ivory white. Owing to its unusual hardiness it may be planted earlier than SS > 
most other cucumbers; a sure cropper. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cts.; 14 lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00. ELEPHANT’S TRUNK PEPPER.

characteristic of this wonderful cucumber. The seed came 
originally from Japan, and has proven itself thoroughly 
adapted to open air cultivation. Comes into bearing 
quickly, and sets its fruit constantly throughout the sea- 
son. Young plants are remarkably stocky, and as soon 
as they become established, begin to climb fences, brush 
and wire netting. The saving of space in a small garden
