82 Maule's Market Gaideneis 



182 Maule's Market Gardeners (6S days) ij* 



^ Sweet, Tender, Fine Grained, Heavy Yielder 



The popularity of this splendid Beet is well deserved. It is always good during 

 any season. Never past its prime. The roots are of a uniform, even, half- 

 long shape. They grow rapidly into a solid, firm-fleshed root that is par- 

 ticularly suited for winter storing. It is valuable alike to market growers 

 and home gardeners. Roots deep red, half long and smooth; distinctly zoned. 

 Sweet, tender, fine grained, and of good color.

!91 Edmand's Early Turnip (60 days) 



F Purplish Red Color; Turnip-Shaped, Tender, and Sweet 



T This is a most desirable turnip-shaped beet with deep blood-red skin and flesh. 



! It has a medium top which makes close planting possible. The roots are almost 

 round and at times taper off at the base into more of a turnip shape. The flesh 

 is bright, purplish red, showing a little zoning of a somewhat lighter color. In 

 fact, the inside of this Beet is so uniform in color that it seems to be solid red. 

 It has established itself firmly in certain market-growing sections, and it is 

 also highly valued by many home gardeners who appreciate its fine, tender- 

 grained flesh and rich sweetness.

73 Burpee's Winter Keeper 



73 Burpee's Winter Keeper (70 days) 



Tender and Delicious the Entire Summer and Winter 



This is truly a "Long Season" Beet and just the one you want as it will remain 

 tender and sweet all summer, and will also keep well into the winter. The 

 half-long or top-shaped beets have a green foliage, which can be used for greens, 

 and are especially recommended for Market Gardeners as a basket Beet or 

 for Home Gardens. Where quality is all that counts, this is an invaluable 

 variety. This top-shaped Beet is of medium size, and of rich red color with few 

 zones. Grows slowly, producing good size beets early, but even when old, 

 the Winter Keeper will be found as tender as other Early varieties. Plant at 

 intervals, say of two or three weeks, until July and you can supply your table 

 with both greens and beets until late fall. 



Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 50c; V2 lb. 75c; lb. $1.25.
