 Turnip Beet for market or home table. It retains

 to stand too long, and may be sown outside as late 

 as July. Crosby's Egyptian Beet, as originated 

 and selected by Mr. Crosby, is a very shy Beeder, 

 and the genuine seed from seed stock grown and 

 selected by the originator himself cannot be 

 obtained at a lower price than here offered. Pkt.,

Ruby Dulcet Beet 



We were the first seedsmen to introduce in 

 America this valuable new beet, which is receiv- 

 ing the highest praise from all gardeners who 

 have grown it. They grow to good size, very free 

 from fibrous rootlets, with a slender tap-root, and 

 absolutely free from stringiness. Foliage small 

 and of a rich bronze purple. The skin and flesh 

 are a deep, rich purplish crimson, fine grained, 

 sweet and tender in all stages of growth. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., 15c.; i lb., 35c.; lb., 11.25.
