BUCKBEE'S SUNSET 



Always the Profit Maker. 



This grand novelty awarded Prize Medal. The direc- 

 tor of the Maine Experimental College, at Orno, 

 writes: "I consider Buckbee's Sunset the most 



E remising new variety." Extended experience 

 as shown this variety of my own introduction 

 to be one of the best sorts, not only for mar- 

 ket gardeners, but for the home garden. This 

 variety was introduced as an improvement in 

 turnip-shaped Beets for table use, and I have, 

 by careful .selection, improved each succeed- 

 ing crop, until I feel certain that it is by far 

 the best red turnip Beet in cultivation. Tops 

 small, upright growing so that the rows may 

 be close together. The stock which we offer 

 will produce a crop more uniforn in shape, 

 color and quality than any other. I control 

 the entire stock of this variety. Pkt. Sc.; oz. lOc;

BUCKBEE'S EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN 

 BLOOD TURNIP 

 One of the Best Ever Grown. 

 Best variety for forcing, also excellent for first early crop out 

 of doors. Very early. Leaf stems and veins dark red, leaf dark 



reen dotted with red; roots dark .'■ed, rounded on top, but fiat be 

 neath with very small tap roots; flesh dark red, zoned with lighter 

 shades; hard, crisp and tender at all times. Pkt. 4c.; oz. 8c.; 2 oz. 

 ISc; M lb. 25c.; 'A 45c.; lb. 80c. 



COLUMBIA 



The roots are of a neat turnip shape, with smooth >.kin 

 5 and deep blood-red flesh, of rich, tender quality. li 

 Jj Is ready to use very early, growing as quickly as doi 

 I the Egyptian, while it does not become coarse ai . 



stringy when of large size. It is also good for 



winter, grown from the seed sown in July. Pkt. 



4c.; oz. 7c.; 2 oz. 12c.; M lb. 20c.; )4 lb. 35c.; 



lb. 65c. 



THE BISMARCK 

 An Excellent Novelty from Germany. 



Combines more good qualities than 



ii any other variety (Buckbee's Sun.set ex- 



: cepted). Rich, red flesh, exceedingly ten- 

 der, remarkably early. In shape it is almost 

 round. But it is when prepared for the 



ii table that its fine qualities become most 

 apparent. The flesh, of delicate texture, is 



, rich, sugary and entirely free from fiber. I 

 control the entire supply of seed of this variety.

CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN 



I One of the Earliest Beets in the Market, 



; A selection from that standard mar- 

 ket Beet, Early Egyptian, which 



I retains the earliness of the par- 



iient stock and has added 

 thickness, giving it a more 

 desirable shape; it is the 

 deepest red, almost black 



color, and is of finer quality than the Egyptian, being sweeter 

 .md even more tender and smoother. The most desirable sort 

 for small Beets for early market, as it is in presentable mar- 

 ket shape quicker than any othei sort. It is a very 

 pid grower and can be sown outside as late as Julj^' 

 Pkt. 4c.; oz. 7c.; 2 oz. 12c.; M lb. 22c.; >^ lb. 40c.; 

 lb. 75c. 



MARKET GARDENERS 



This is an entirely distinct variety, and we 

 consider it by far the best for Winter and 

 Spring use. The root is deep red, very sym- 

 metrical, two or three times as long as thick, 

 and always smooth and handsome. The flesh 

 is rich, dark red, very sweet, crisp and tender, 

 never becoming woody even in portions above 

 the ground; it retains its good quality longer 

 than other sorts. Pkt. 4c.; oz. 7c.; 2 oz. 12c.; 

 lOc; lb. 7Sc. 



NEW TRUE DARK STINSON 



Excellent for the open garden. This is particu- 

 larly valuable for forcing, because it produces less 

 foliage than any other variety, and can be grown close 

 together. The roots are smooth and regular in form; the 

 skin is dark blood-red. Flesh fine grained and cooks dark 

 blood-red. Remains in fine condition for a long time. Pkt. 

 4c.; oz. 7c.; 2 oz. 12c.; M lb. 20c.; lb. 35c.; lb. 60c. 



BLACK QUEEN 



Fine new"'sort, which I can highly recommend. Roots 'pear- 

 shaped of medium size, line form nearly buried in soil. Flesh 

 deep red color, almost black; leaves large, nicely crimpled, of 

 drrp color. Pkt. 4c.; oz. 8c.; 2 oz. ISc; ^ lb. 25c.; 'A lb. 

 40c. ; lb. 7Sc. 



NEW EARLY ECLIPSE 



Tops small, dark purplish green. Roots nearly 

 globular, with a small tap root and collar. A 

 splendid variety. Flesh dark red, zoned with 

 lighter red, sweet, crisp and tender Pkt.
