FORDS PERFECTED HALF-LONG BEET. 



FORD'S PERFECTED HALF-LONG 



Originated by James Ford, who is well known 

 to most of our customers as the originator of the 

 famous Ford's Mammoth Podded Lima Bean. 



It has many distinctive points of great value. In 

 size the roots are remarkably uniform. The color 

 is a very deep red, several shades darker than the 

 Bastian Half Long. It is also earlier, maturing a 

 few days after the Early Turnip varieties ; and as a 

 fall and winter beet it has no equal, as none other 

 can approach it in keeping qualities. Pkt.,5c. ; oz., 

 10c. ; i lb., 25c.; lb., 70c.; 5 lbs., $3.00. 



ARLINGTON FAVORITE BEET 



A new dark-leaved early blood variety, origi- 

 nated at Arlington, Mass., where it is grown ex- 

 tensively for the Boston market. It follows the 



NEW METEOR BEET. 



Eclipse closely in maturing, and differs from all 

 other very dark blood sorts in that it has the 

 sweetness of the Bassano. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c. ; J lb., 

 20c.; lb., 60c. 



NEW METEOR BEET 



This valuable beet was introduced by us in 

 1898 and has been one of the standard sorls ever 

 since. It is of handsome shape, as depicted in the 

 above photographic illustration, and is the result of 

 years of intelligent selection by one of our most 

 successful Philadelphia market gardeners. It is 

 very early, closely folio wing our celebrated Crosby's 

 Egyptian. It is always smooth, uniform, with 

 very small roots. Flesh is dark red, tender, fine 

 grained, and remains so after many other sorts have 

 become tough and woody. Price, pkt., 5c.; oz., 

 lOc; J lb., 30c.; lb., 90c.
