OSBY'S IMPROVED 

 EGYPTIAN BEET 



This is our leading extra early beet for market 

 gardeners' use ; equally good for the home table. 

 It is earlier than the old Extra Early Egyptian, 

 larger in size, smooth, and of the form as shown 

 in our photographic illustration above. It retains 

 its superior quality and does not become woody 

 and tasteless like the old Egyptian when allowed 

 to stand too long. It may be sown outside as late 

 as July. This beet was originated from the Extra 

 Early Egyptian by Mr. Crosby and is a very shy 

 seeder. Our stock is grown from stock seed 

 selected by the originator, and is superior in every 

 way. Price, per pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; J lb., 20c; lb., 

 75c, by mail, postage paid; by express, lb., 65c; 

 5 lbs. and over, 60c per lb.

ANIER'S SUPERBA BEET 



For more than fifty years and until his death, 

 our old friend, William Lanier, one of the oldest 

 and best-known market gardeners near Philadel- 

 phia, supplied the early and late markets with the 

 handsomest and most salable beets that could be 

 had, and Lanier's Beets, as they were called, be- 

 came much sought after by the best commission 

 merchants of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. 

 During all these years Mr. Lanier selected with a 

 critical eye the most perfect beets from each crop 

 for seed stock to plant for his own use. The pho- 

 tograph gives an idea of its beautiful bell shape, 

 between a turnip and a half-long beet. A strong, 

 vigorous grower, producing marketable beets very 

 early, of a dark carmine color and very tender. 

 Price, pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; i lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.
