J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN REE TURNIP.— This 



is a well known variety, very early, tender, deep red 

 and of Turnip shape. Leaves of this variety are 

 smaller than the others. 

 The seeds are also much 

 smaller. We recommend 

 it and consider it a 

 good acquisition. The 

 seed of this variety is 

 obtained by us from the 

 original source and is 

 the finest stock offered. 

 It increases in populari- 

 ty every year. 



PROTSCEER'S 

 THREE-QUARTER 

 RED. — A decided im- 

 provement on the Blood 

 Turnip, excellent for 

 family use and also for 

 shipping-; retains its 

 color longer than any 

 other variety; quick 

 growth and not much 

 foliage. 



CHICAGO EARLY 

 BLOOD TURNIP. — A 



splendid beet for market 

 and shipping. Very 

 handsome, perfect in 

 form, and deep bright 

 red color. It is early, 

 crisp, tender and sweet,

 beets under cultivation. 



Extra Early Egyptian Red Turnip. 



"White Prench Sugar. 



CRIMSON GLOBE. — This beet is remark- 

 able for its smooth skin and fine shape. 

 We have been growing it on our trial 

 grounds for many years, and could not 

 help noting its many desirable qualities. 

 It is a second early variety, does not grow 

 large and coarse, the matured beets being 

 medium in size and rather oblong in shape. 

 The flesh and skin are both very dark and 

 quality fine, being sweet and tender. The 

 tops are small and dark in color. We are 

 confident that this beet will please all who 

 plant it. 



Eclipse. 



ECLIPSE. — Introduced from Germany; 

 very regular; of globular shape. It has a 

 small top, is of dark blood red color, sweet 

 and fine grained flesh. It comes earlier 

 than the Egyptian.
