LITTLE EGYPT (New) 



The earliest beet in cultivation.

 desirable, very early, forcing beet will do well to give 

 this new European variety a thorough trial. This actually

 interior color is a brilliant blood-red. The top grows 

 only from 6 to 10 inches. Price: Pkt. 10c, Oz. 20c, 1/4

CENTURY OR WINTER KEEPER 



A Stokes Introduction in 1913. 



Days to maturity, 60. Persistent demand warrants us in 

 relisting this best of all winter varieties. This is the 

 finest quality beet of our entire list. Its half-long shape 

 has precluded it on certain markets, but where it is 

 known it is a positive favorite. Root blood red, delicate 

 texture even when grown over a period of three to four 

 months. As a winter keeper it is unequalled. Top bright 

 green, often utilized for greens. Price: Pkt. 10c, Oz. 15c, 

 1/4 lb. 30c, Lb. $1.00, 5 lbs. or over @ 90c per lb. Postpaid.
