Steckler’s Extra Early. The earliest 
red variety in cultivation. Unequalled in 
quality. It originated with a leading 
market gardener, and was brought to 
perfection after years of careful cultiva- 
tion. It is a rich, blood red beet of fine 
grain and flavor,.is earlier than either 
the Egyptian, or Eclipse, of smooth and 
rapid growth; top and tap roots being 
very small. Market gardeners should not 
fail to give it a trial. 
Crimson Globe. This beet is remark- 
able for its smooth skin and fine shape. 
We have been growing it on our trial 
grounds for several 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.
