BUCKBEE'S SUNSET. 



THE GREAT MONEY MAKER. 



THIS grand novelty awarded Prize Medal. The director of the Maine Experimen- 

 tal College at Orno, writes: "I consider Buckbee's Sunset the most promising 

 new variety." Extended experience has shown this variety of our own intro- 

 duction to be one of the very best sorts, not only for market gardeners, but for the 

 home garden. This variety was introduced as an improvement in turnip-shaped Beets 

 for table.usej and we have, and by careful selection, improved each succeeding crop, 

 until we feel certain that it is by far the best red turnip Beet in cultivation. The Best 

 Beet. Tops small, upright growing, so that the rows may be close together ; leaf, stems 

 and veins dark red, blade green ; roots globular or ovid ; particularly smooth; color of 

 skin dark blood-red ; flesh bright red, zoned with a lighter shade ; very crisp, tender 

 and sweet, and remaining so for a long time. The stock which we offer will produce a

Th© Bismarck - (* n Excellent Novelty from Germany.) Combines more good 

 1 qualities than any othor variety (.Buckbee's Sunset ex- 



cepted.) Rich, red flesh, exceedingly tender, remarkably early. In shape it is almost 

 round. The leaves are small and compact, and set very close to center of bulb. 

 The tap root also is small, starting clear from the bulb without taper; indeed, it 

 combines to a greater degree than any variety we know of — the maximum edible 

 bulb with the minimum root and foliage. The color is crimson. But it is when 

 prepared for the table that its fine qualities become most apparent. The flesh of 

 delicate texture, is rich, sugary and entirely free from fibre. I control the entire 

 supply of seed of this variety. Pkt. 4c; oz. 7c; 2 oz. 12c. Yi lb. 20c; Y: lb. 35c; lb. 60c.
