Golden Tankard Mangel Wurzel. A 



distinct variety, particularly valuable on 

 account of its richness in saccharine 

 matter; highly prized by dairymen for 

 its milk-producing qualities. All stock 

 will thrive on it. Deep yellow flesh and 

 skin. 



Extra Early Red Egyptian Turnip. This 

 is a well known vairiety, very early, ten- 

 der; 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 popularity every 

 year. 



Chicago Early Blood Turnip. 



Egyptian Red Turnip. 



Crosby's Egyptian. An improve- 

 ment on the foregoing sort; bein^ of 

 more uniform shape and color. Re- 

 commend same highly. 



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, and has very 

 little foliage. One of the finest beets 

 under cultivation. 



Frotscher's Three-Quarter Red. A 

 decided improvement 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. 



Extra Early Perfect. The Extra 

 Early Beet is a very handsome dark 

 red blood beet, nearly globe shape, 

 but having a tendency to a slightly 

 oblong form. 



Long Blood. A very desirable va- 

 riety for light soils, where roots are 

 easy to dig. Skin very dark brownish- 

 red. Flesh deep blood-red. 



Half Long Blood. A very dark 

 red variety, a good kind for family 

 use. 



When in Doubt consult Steckler.
