ECLIPSE.- This is one of the best table beets, 

 and it is indeed high praise to say that the Eclipse 

 beet is almost or quite as early as the Egyptian, 

 as the latter has always been accepted as the 

 earliest of all. The Eclipse has always been re- 

 cognized as superior to the Egyptian in table value. 

 it is smooth, with small tops, tine grain and tender, 

 bright red in color. Many market gardeners have 

 discarded the Egyptian entirely in favor of the 

 Eclipse. I'kt. 5c.: oz. 10c. : 1-4 lb. 20c.; lb. 50c. 



IMPROVED LONG DARK RED.— This is 

 one of the best long red turnip beets on the mar- 

 ket, being of unexcelled quality for the table and 

 live stock. It yields very heavily. The color is 

 rich carmine, and the quality is sweet and tender. 

 In rich ground it may be grown to advantage in 

 July or August as a second crop and will not be 

 Injured by the October frost, and will produce an 



abundance of first class roots for winter. We do not 

 believe there is another beet of this class that v?lll 

 equal it. Pkt. ,"«■. ; oz. 10c. ; 1-4 lb. 20c. ; lb. 50c.
