ECLIPSE. — Eclipse is as early I find as the Egyptian, and besides 



is OF BETTER. QUALITY and COLOR. Has a remarkably small top. 

 Is very smooth ; fine grained and tender ; bright red in color. Many market 

 gardeners have already discarded Egyptian for Eclipse, and this year the latter 

 will be more largely sown than ever. Pkt., 10 c; oz., 15 c; % lb., 30 c. ; lb., 31.00. 



MAULE'S DARK RED EGYPTIAN Tlie earliest ; the most pop- 

 ular among market-gardeners for forcing purposes. Roots, when young, are hard, 

 crisp and tender, and in color very dark red. I can particularly recom- 

 mend my seed to those desiring the best strain of" Egyptian Beet 

 in the market. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 25 cts.; lb., 80 cts.

 HAIOH, FRANKFORD, PA., SECURED THE PREMIUM ($3Q,) BY SENDING US THE FINEST BEETS (MAULE'S EGYPTIAN.) 



PHILADELPHIA EARLY TURNIP This is a very early 



beet, maturing about the same time as the Egyptian. It is very rich and 

 sugary, and highly thought of by all who have ever sown it. Flesh is in 

 alternate rings of light and dark pink, but boils red. It is very smooth, 

 and is a decidedly profitable market variety. Pkt. 

 5 Cts.; oz., 10 cts.; V lb., 25 cts.; lb., 65 cts. 



MAULE'S BLOOD TURNIP.— The Blood 

 Turnip Beet is known the world over as a most 

 desirable variety, and there are anv number of 

 strains, good bad and indifferent. Having grown 

 what I consider the most desirable and carefully 

 selected of all these various stocks, I have for sev- 

 eral years been supplying it to thonsands of my 

 customers, to their entire satisfaction. It 

 is nearly as early as the Egyptian, but surpasses 

 the latter variety in flavor. Color a rich, dark 

 red ; roots fine-grained, globular-shaped, with 

 small top. Free from side or fibrous roots, 

 and is always remarkably smooth. Excellent 

 for forcing, and moreover, it is a very superior 

 keeper, thus making it also desirable for 

 winter use. Cooks sweet, tender and crisp, 

 and in every way may be considered the 

 standard sort for the market- and home-gar - 

 dener. Has made a good crop 7 weeks from 

 sowing. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb. 30c; lb. 90c.
