 has white and rose colored flesh arranged in alternate rings. It is ten- 

 der, juicy and sweet. The light green leaves are sometimes used for 

 greens. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; % lb,, 40 cts.; lb., SI. 25, postpaid. 



86 Maulers 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 it is rich carmine, and in quality it is sweet and 

 tender. In rich ground it may be sown with advantage in July or Aug- 

 ust, as a second crop. It will not be injured by the October frosts and 

 will produce a great abundance of first-class root food for winter, either 

 for table or stock. Becoming very popular with stock growers.

Detroit Dark Red 



This early globe-shaped beet of excellent quality. 

 Is especially esteemed on account of its dark red 

 color, which extends entirely through the beet, 

 and -without the light colored rings seen in some 

 varieties. The medium size beets are smooth and 

 handsome and are now being largely used for can- 

 ning as well as for the home garden and market. 

 It retains its good quality even after it gets large, 

 and is an excellent variety on this account for fall 

 use as well as for spring. I have a very fine strain 

 of this beet, being of uniform globe shape, small 

 tops and very dark red. 



Pkt, lOc; oz., 15c.; \i lb., 4:0c.; lb., $1.25.

CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN BEET. 



Crosby's Egyptian 



The Most Popular Elxtra Early Money Maker for all Growers 



A distinct improvement on the older forms of Egyptian beet, with a 

 larger and more globular root. It is extremely early. Produces a most 

 desirable turnip shape beet of a presentable size vei'y early, making it 

 a favorite with market gardeners for earliest sales. Tops are not too 

 small, bat just riglit for easy bunching.

MAULE'S MARKET GARDENER'S BEET. 



Maule's Market Gardeners 



Always Good. Never Past Its Prime 



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

 cultivation 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 produce early beets for market aud 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 symnaetrical 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 season's table beet. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; I pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.
