The Best Late' Blood Turnip Beet. 



Combines more good qualities than any otiier variety (Buckbee's 

 Sunset excepted). Rich, red flesh, exceedingly tender, remarkably

 cate texture, is rich, sugary and entirely tree from fiber. I control 

 the entire supply of seed of this variety. Pkt. 4c.; oz. 8c.; 2 oz. 15c.;
