ECLIPSE.— This is one of the best known tabie beets. It is indeed 

 high praise to say that the Eclipse boot is almost, or quite, as early as 

 the Egyptian; that the latter has been long accepied as the earliest of 

 all. Tiie Eclipse has always been recognized as superior to the Egyptian 

 in table value. The Eclipse is very smooth, with small top, fine grain

 Egyptian entirely in favor of the Eclipse. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; quarter

ALLEN'S BLOOD TURNIP.-The Blood Turnip beet has long been 

 regarded as the standard of excellence. Thousands of people have 

 been growing this variety to their profit and entire satisfaction. It is 

 very early, nearly as early as the Egyptian, and greatly surpasses that 

 variety in flavor. The color is rich dark red and the shape globular; 

 it is fine grain in texture and has a small top; is free from side or 

 fibrous roots, being always smooth and beautiful; it is excellent for 

 forcing for main spring or summer crop, or for use in winter, as it is 

 a good keeper; it cooks sweet, tender and crisp, and is in every way a 

 standard sort for market or home use. Under favorable conditions, 

 it will make a crop ready for market in sevoa weeks from sowing.
