MAULE'S BLOOD TURNIP BEET.

Maule's Blood Turnip Beet 



The Best of Them All 



Maule's Blood Turnip beet has given sucli excellent satisfaction that it still retains its posi- 

 tion at the head of our list, and for j-ears the amount of catalogue space occupied by illustrations 

 and devoted to descriptions of this variety, has been unquestionably one of the most profitable in 

 our Seed Book. We first gave prominent notice to INIaule's Blood Turnip beet in our catalogue 

 of 1889; the sales then were large, but today, 28 years later, they are six times greater than ever. 

 A consistent steady demand from the same people year after year for this variety should be sufficient 

 endorsement for all gardeners to know that in planting Maule's Blood Turnip, they are plantino- 

 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 gTeatly 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 alwa^^s 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 wav the 

 standard sort for the market or home gardener. Has made a good crop seven weeks from 

 somng. Maule's Blood Turnip beet, has long been regarded as the standard of excellence by 

 more than 45,000 successful gardeners, who i)lant 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. 



I believe in your seeds, last year I planted Maule's Blood Turnip beet seed, 

 Irom which I grew the finest beets I have ever seen. C. W. Hull, ConltervUle, Cal. 



last year I tried yonr seeds for the first time and was particularly pleased with 

 Haule's Blood Turnip beet and the Colossal Early sugar corn. This corn is all 

 yon claim for it in size and quality. If may be of interest to you fo hear that 

 some of the Colossal was ready for picking 4 days after the first picking of Golden 

 Bantam, which I used for first crop. The Colossal was planted 12 days later.
