New EARLY MODEL Beet. 



This splendid variety — of English origin — has attained perfection 

 for table use. It is a medium early variety, coming in between Extra 

 Early Electric and Crimson Globe. The roots of Early Model are of good 

 size and run uniformly perfect, almost round, with small dark crimson col- 

 ored leaves, and a slim tap-root. In quality and color it is peerless; very 

 fine grained, tender and sweet, never woody or stringy. Color of both 

 skin and flesh deep rich blood-crimson, equalling that of the best long 

 beets. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. ] , lb., $1.25 lb. 



" / may say that my Model Beets irom your seed are praised by all who see them; tender, 

 sweet and oj grand color." GE0 / p , ,. ,//./. Tuxedo p ark ^ N _ Y .

This splendid variety has now been grown quite extensively in many 

 sections of the country and the many good reports received from our cus- 

 tomers indicate that it gives most thorough satisfaction. The root is of 

 medium size, generally about three inches in diameter, very handsome in 

 shape, being a little deeper than round, with a remarkably smooth surface. 

 It has a very small tap-root. The very dark leaves are small and borne on 

 slender stems which occupy but a small portion of the root, but it is the 

 exquisite tenderness of the flesh and the complete absence of any stringy or 



woody character that so thor- 

 oughly distinguish this beet. 

 The interior color is very deep 

 crimson throughout, but is 

 ringed or zoned in a most beau- 

 tiful manner, making it very 

 attractive in appearance. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 

 35c. J lb., $1.00 lb. 



"7 consider your new Crimson Globe 

 Beet an acquisition, and sliall plant a 

 larger quantity next season. Besides 

 being fit for use early, and its other 

 good qualities, I find it an excellent 

 keeper." 

 THOS. GOLDR1NG, Bennington. Vt. 



"Your Cri?nson Globe Beets were the 

 best we ever had. We used from them 

 all summer, and pitied the balance for 

 winter. Tl'e had some cooked for 

 dinner to-day (March 3d) and they were 

 as tender and sweet as if freshly pulled." 

 WM. P. WAKEMAN, Middletown,
