’ BE 
MARKET GARDEHERS’ BEET. 
ALWAYS GOOD—HEVER PAST ITS PRIME, 
This new beet is one of the best on my list for general cultivation by 
market gardeners and farmers. Makes avery rapid growth from thestart, 
often larger than Egyptian, age for age. It continues to grow for a long 
period, making a heavy root for autumn or winter use. Only one sowing is 
necessary to produce early beets for market and a main crop for winter 
use. The quality is first-rate at all periods of growth, whether the beet 
weighs a quarter of a pound or six pounds. It is a good keeper and may 
be used all winter. When cooked it is of a beantiful, dark red color 
throughout, and of unsurpassed table quality. The illustration shows the 
exact shape of the Market Gardeners’ beet. It is symmetrical in form 
and of decidedly handsome appearance. There are but few fibrous roots 
and the top is small. Its features are all commendable, and it should 








HALF-LONG BLOOD.—An excellent main 
crop or late beet; a great favorite as a field sort. 
It combines good table quality with highest 
stock feeding value. It is a large cropper and 
reliable winter keeper. The rootis more taper- 
ing than the turnip shaped beets, and reaches 
deeper into the soil. The flesh is dark red, tender 
and sweet; foliage rich and dark. This standard 
beet is an old favorite with market men and 
stock owners, and has no defects. It is the best 
of its class, and can be turned to great economic 
account by reason of its enormous yield and 
Sy. high food value. Its freedom from woody 
aN fibre or toughness is one of its main character- 
=) istics, but its leading feature is its shape, which 
is intermediate between the globe-shaped and 
the long beets. It has for many years been a | 
favorite with both gardeners and farmers.
