ImmiI! 



(One ounce of seed will sow one hundred feet of drill.) 



Select a deep, rich, sandy loam, and manure with 

 well decomposed compost or a good chemical fer- 

 tilizer. Sow in drills, fourteen to sixteen inches 

 apart, and cover one inch deep. When the young 

 plants appear, thin to four or five inches apart. For 

 early use, sow as soon as the ground can be worked 

 in the spring; for autumn use, about the middle of 

 May; and for winter use, during June or July, ac- 

 cording to variety— the long varieties requiring 

 more time to mature than the round, early kinds.

ECLIPSE BEET. 



This new extra early Beet is remarkable for Its 

 fine quality and rapid growth, is of deep red color 

 and handsome shape; as an early market sort it 

 is unrivaled. It is, to a large extent, superseding 

 the Egyptian, being earlier in development, more 

 attractive in appearance, and of superior quality 

 for the table. We have never known a market gar- 

 dener to try it but who wanted it again.

CROSBY'S 



strain of the well 

 Crosby, a noted 



IMPROVED EGYPTIAN BEET.- A ^ er Y j ; 



-known Egyptian, carefully selected for years by Mr. Josiah 

 Bastern market gardener, whose aim was to secure a 

 perfect forcing variety. The results 

 obtained were handsome form, good 

 size, few small tops, very small tap 

 root, fine quality, deep blood color, 

 and, above all, quick, rapid growth, 

 The shape is very desirable, as 

 shown in the accompanying photo- 

 graph, being not quite so flat as 

 the ordinary Egyptian, nor so 

 round as the Eclipse. Takes on its 

 turnip shape and looks well even 

 in the early stages of its growth, on 

 which account it is preferred for 

 forcing to Globe and Half Long va- 

 rieties. This is a decided advantage 

 to those who force for real early 

 market. Once used, it is preferred to 

 Egyptian or Eclipse for forcing in 

 frames or for first sowing, outside, 

 and being a rapid grower, it may 

 be sown outside as late as July. 

 No market or private grower who 

 values earliness should fail to give 

 the Crosby's Egyptian a trial.
