Market Gardeners Beet 



"Tf>e Great all seasons Beet 



Always Good. 

 Never Past Its Prime. 



This grand beet is one of the best on my list for general culti- 

 vation by market gardeners and farmers. Makes a very rapid 

 growth from the start, 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 pro- 

 duce 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 

 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 is small. It should appeal strongly to business gardeners 

 and to everybody wanting an all seasons table beet. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; ] pound, 30 cents; pound, $1.00. 



Maule's Midsummer Beet. 



The roots are deep red in color, and always symmetrical and smooth- 

 The flesh is of a rich, dark red color. In quality it is sweet, crisp and 

 tender, and it is an enormous cropner. It is a heavy beet without being 

 hard to pull. 



It never becomes woody, even in the small portion above the ground, 

 and is always good for table use or stock food, whether pulled young 

 or old. Plst., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; \i lb., 25 cts.; lb., 90 cts. 



HALF-LONG BLOOD.— An excellent main crop beet; a great favor- 

 ite as afield sort. It combines good table quality with highest stock 

 feeding value. It is a large cropper and reliable winter keeper. The 

 root is more tapering 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. Pht., 

 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; \i lb., 25.; lb., 75 cts. 



DETROIT DARK RED.— A splendid beet 

 of a deep red color, for home or market. By 

 far the best for canning, on account of its 

 beauty. Small, upright tops and perfectly 

 smooth roots. Flesh zoned with lighter and 

 darker bands; tender and sweet. Pitt., 5 cts.; 

 oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00. 



E. J. Auglen Canton, Mont.— I can truly say your 

 seeds excel any I ever planted.

NEW Ct 



SEW CARDINAL I picked up this excellent 



variety in England, in 1895. It has proven a- worthy 

 introduction. Ready for market six weeks from 

 sowing. The shape is well shown in the illustra- 

 tion, from a photogra7ih. The flesh is dark crim- 

 son, changing into rings of a lighter color, very 

 tender and of delicate flavor. When cooked it is of a 

 beautiful, solid crimson, and of rich, sugary flavor, 

 entirely free from fibre. Packet, 10 cts.;' ounce, 

 15 cts.'; '( pound, 30 cts.; pound, $1.00. 



MAULE'S IMPROVED LONG RED. — Next 

 to Market King this is the best long red beet on 

 the market, being of unexcelled quality for table 

 and live stock. It has yielded twelve tons to the 

 acre. In color it is 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. No other beet can take Maule's Imp. Lono Rio. 

 its place. Plct., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 25 cts.; lb., 75 cts. 



IMPRAVFI) <kWKC mARI) ! offer this season a particularly 

 IlfimUVCV 3WWI33 in/UU*. choice stra ; n of Swiss Chard or Silver 



Beet. It seems the American 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 Reet, in their garden. This beet Is 

 grown for its leaves 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 centsj 

 ounce, 10 cents; '% pound, 25 cents; pound, 75 cents.
