BEETS 



RemolacUa, Sp. 



One ounce will sow 50 feet of drill ; 5 to 6 pounds for an acre 



Crosby's Egyptian. Extremely early and may be grown out 

 of door or under glass, and in either case the young Beets are 

 fit for use at an early stage of growth. It is thicker through 

 than the old Egyptian, which adds greatly to its appearance, 

 and this, together with the rich vermilion color, makes it very 

 attractive. The quality is excellent, being sweet and tender. 

 Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts. ; \ lb., 50 cls.; lb., $1.75. 



Detroit Dark Red. A choice variety of early turnip Beet. 

 The tops make an upright growth, thus allowing of planting 

 in cloje rows, a valuable feature where space is limited. The 

 Beet is somewhat globe shape, skin blood red and flesh 

 rich red, zoned with a darker shade. The Beets are sweet' 

 when cooked, and it is a splendid variety for canning. Pkt., 

 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 50 cis.; !b., $1.75. 



Dewing's Improved Biiood Turnip. An improved medium 

 early Blood Turnip Beet. The skin is dark red and flesh car- 

 mine, striped with a lighter shade. It is a good keeper and 

 grows to a good size; flesh is tender and sweet. Pkt., 5cts. ; 

 oz , 15 cts.; J lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



Bastian's Half=Long Blood. An excellent variety for either 

 spring, fall or winter use. The roots are smooth, flesh bright 

 red and the quality is very good. It is a good keeper, and 

 for winter use the seed should be sown early in July. Pkt., 

 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



Si;VISS CMARD, OR 



SPINACH BBET 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of row 

 Swiss Chard, Qiant Lucullus. The Swiss Chard, or Spin- 

 ach Beet, is prepared for the table in the same manner as 

 Spinach; sometimes, however, the mid- rib is prepared like 

 Asparagus. Seed planted early in the spring will quickly 

 produce plants from which cuttings may be made all summer, 

 as you can cut right down to the ground, and new shoots will 

 soon spring up and make a fast growth, while those plants 

 which are allowed to grow on without any cutting will make 

 large curly leaves, with thick, light-colored mid-ribs, which are 

 delicious when cooked and served like asparagus. You should 

 not fail to plant at least one long row in your garden. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00.

 has a small top; skin and flesh red. One of the

 15 cts.; 1^ lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50.

 suitable for forcing and growing in the open 

 garden. Tops are small and Beets are rounded 

 on top, but flat at bottom end. The color of

 tender and of good flavor. Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 

 15 cts.; \ lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50.
