No. 72. Windermoor Half-Long. Days to Maturity, 60. The half-long beet was apparently 

 first introduced by E. J. Evans in 1871. In all these years there ha.s not been an established trade 

 name developed. Because of the work we have done on this variety here on Windermoor Farm, we 

 call our strain Windermoor Half-Long. As compared with New Century, this variety is not recom- 

 mended for the home garden planter. For commercial growers, who question 



their ability to sell the New Century on account of the rougher character of 



the root, we recommend Windermoor Half-Long, especially as a late variety. 

 The root is about three and one-half inches in diameter when mature, deep 

 red color, very smooth and uniform. The interior is a rich red, zoned with 

 a lighter red, and the quality is good. Pkt. 5(4, oz. 10«f, \i lb. 25e, lb. $1.00, 

 5 lbs. $4.50, postpaid; by express, 5 lbs. or more, 80j4 per lb. 



No. 76. Long Smooth Blood. Days to Maturity, 60. ( )ne of the oldest English 

 varieties, being listed in 1826 by Sinclair & Moore and by Landreth. The stock we offer is from 

 English sources, the photograph given here having 

 been taken on Windermoor Farm. Long Smooth 

 Blood is recommended for fall and winter use. It 

 will develop to at least six inches in length, and is 

 of excellent quality. The color is a rich blood-red 

 with no contrasting zone colors. Pkt. 50, oz. 



lb. 25(4, lb. $1.00, 5 lbs. $4.50, postpaid; by 

 express, 5 lbs. or more, 80(* per lb.
