NEW CRIM50N GLOBE BEET 



New Crimson Qlobe Beet 



This is a most valuable introduction. 

 It is a very early variety, skin ia 

 smooth and it is as handsome a beet 

 as you can find. The root is not 

 large, averaging about 3 inches in dia- 

 meter. The leaves are quite small 

 with slender stems. There is.no var- 

 iety where richness of color in both 

 top and roots is so beautifully combin- 

 ed as in this sort. Color of flesh rich 

 deep red shading to purple, is fine 

 grained and flavor cannot be surpassed 

 Judges appear to be unanimous as to 

 its excellent quality and as a superior 

 market beet. Price per pkt. 10 cts., 2 

 pkts. 15 cts., oz. 15 cts.. lb. 40 cts., 

 lb. $1.25. 



COLUMBIA BEET 



The handsome appearance of this new Beet is well 

 shown in the illustration. The roots are of a neat 

 turnip-shape, with smooth skin and deep blood-red 

 flesh, of rich, tender quality. It is ready to use 

 very early, growing as quickly as does the .Egj^tian 

 while it does not become coarse and stringj'. Com- 

 pared with such famous sorts as Edmand's and Eclipse 

 the Columbia has proved as early and even better in 

 quality than these two really first-class varieties. In 

 habit of growth it is remarkably thoroughbred, the 

 foliage being small, neat, and of a rich bronze color. 

 We are sure that market gardeners will find it a 

 splendid variety, while its fine flavor as a table beet 

 will delight all private planters.

Columbia Beet 



EARLY ARLINGTON BEET 



Early ArllnBton Beet 



Of medium size and dark, rich, blood red color. It is veiy early, of 

 fine turnip shape, smooth, with small tap-root, foliage small and dark 

 red, and of very fine flavor. One of the strongest points in favor of 

 this variety is that it does not get bitter and stringy when it is a littl»» 

 old, but is sweet and tender at all times. It is one of the best for 

 bunching and shipping for the market gardener. Its grand quality, un» 

 iform shape and beautiful color, makes it one of the most desirable 

 varieties of garden beets. Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., ^ lb. 25 

 cts., lb. 75 cts. 



Seeds arrived all right and look well, as they always do. The 

 best thing of all is that they always come up and are as repre- 

 sented. H. S. 3Ianville, Fremont, Neb. 



I ordered seeds from you two years ago, and such a fine garden; 

 everything seems to come up and vegetables had all such a fine 

 flavor. Mrs. W. D. McEwen, Pocahontas Co., Iowa.
