70 Maule's Early Wonder Beet 



Extremely Early, Deep Red, Tender auid Sweet 



This wonderful early beet is the result of years' reselect- 

 ing and improving, and is now so perfected that we believe it 

 is one of the earliest and best turnip shaped beets grown. 

 It is much earlier than Crosby's Egyptian, maturing in about 

 10 days, of perfect shape and beautiful, deep red color. The 

 tops are not quite as large as Crosby's Egyptian, which 

 permits close planting and is excellent for bunching; a desir- 

 able early sort for the home garden as well as for market. 



Packet, iO cents; ounce, 19 cents; quarter pound, 40 cents; 

 pound, $1.35; 5 pounds, S5.50, postpaid. 



71 Maule's Market King Beet 



The best for winter keeping 



Market King is a quick grower and soon reaches maturity; 

 one of the best main crop beets. An excellent winter keeper. The 

 solidity, fineness and firmness of its bright red flesh make it 

 one of the best keeping varieties. It is always a ready seller on 

 the market stall, where a symmetrical shaped beet is wanted. 



On the points of flavor and table quality, we would lay 

 especial emphasis, for it is an ideal beet for household use. It 

 can be used at all stages of growth, ready for use in about 65 

 days, and it is almost needless to say that a sweet and succu- 

 lent half long blood beet like this is sure to become a favorite. 



Packet, 8 cents; ounce, 12 cents; quarter pound, 30 cents; 

 pound, $1.00; 5 pounds, gl.dO, postpaid. 



81 Maule's Dark Red 

 Egyptian 



The Earliest of All (or Home or Market 



The Egyptian beet is one of the most popular 

 rarieties among market gardeners for forcing 

 purposes. Justly or unjustly it is considered to 

 >e the earliest of all. It certainly -will bear close 

 jlanting in the valuable space under glass or 

 n a warm garden in early spring. It is turnip 

 haped, and when young is crisp and tender, 

 u color it is dark red. Ready for use in 35 days. 

 Packet, 8 cents; ounce, X2 cents; 



quarter pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00; 

 5 pounds, S4:.50, postpaid. 



84 Detroit Dark Red 



Excellent for the Home Garden or Canning 



This early globe-shaped beet of excellent 

 quality is especially esteemed on account of 

 its dark red color, which extends entirely 

 through the beet, and without the light colored 

 rings seen in some varieties. The medium 

 sized beets are smooth and handsome and are 

 now being largely used for canning as well as 

 for the home garden or market. It retains 

 its good quality even after it gets large, and is 

 an excellent variety on this account for fall use 

 as well as for spring. Maturing in about 50 days. 

 Packet, 8 cents; OTiuce, 12 cents; 



quarter pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00; 

 5 pounds, S4:.50, postpaid. 



74 Eclipse 



EspeciaUy Desirable for Home Gardens or Bnnching 



We have a strain of extra purity and merit, 

 particularly noted for earliness. It is indeed 

 high praise to say that our Eclipse beet is 

 almost or quite as early as Egyptian, for the 

 latter has been long accepted as the earliest of 

 all; and Eclipse has ever been recognized as 

 superior to Egyptian in table value. Our strain 

 has small top and is smooth, fine grained and 

 tender, with bright red color. Maturing in 45 

 days. For home gardens it is one of the best. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 13 cents; 



quarter pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00; 

 5 pounds, S4.50, postpaid.
