« Maule’s Market Gardeners’ 
Always Good. Never Past Its Prime 
This grand beet is one of the best on my list for general 
eultivation by market gardeners and farmers. Makes a very 
rapid growth from the start, often larger than Hgyptian, 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. Itisa 
good keeper and may be used all winter. When cooked, it is 
of a beautiful, 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 issmall. It should appeal strongly to business 
gardeners and to everybody wanting an all season’s table beet. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; } pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50.

83 HALEF-LONG BLOOD.—An excellent main crop beet; a favorite

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 fav- 
orite with market men and stock owners.

86 MAULE’S IMPROVED LONG RED. — 
Next to Market King this is the best long red beet 
on the market, of unexcelled quality for table 
and live stock. It has yielded twelve tons to the 
acre. In color itis rich carmine, and in quality it 
is sweet and tender. In rich ground it may be 
sown with advantage in July or August, as a sec- 
ond crop. It will not be injured by the October 
frosts and will produce a great abundance of first- 
class root food for winter.

88 I offer this season a particularly 
IMPROVED SWISS CHARD. choice strain of Swiss Chard or 
Silver Beet. It seems the A merican people are just becoming acquainted 
with the desirability of having a little Swiss Chard or Silver Beet, or, as 
it is sometimes called, Sea Kale Beet, in their garden. This beet is 
grown for its leayes only. The middle of the leaf or midrib is cooked 
and served like asparagus. The other portions of the leaf may be used 
like spinach. The seed should be sown in spring, in drills, a foot apart. 
: This beet does not make a large root, but is a delicious summer vege- 
table when cut Young and used for “greens.” Packet, 5 cents;
