CULTURE OF BEETS. Our best seed are Rrown from selected transplanted roots, and have 

 given truckers and market gardeners, who appreciate a high standard of perfection, the utmost sat- 

 isfaction. The soil best suited for beet culture is that which is rather light and well enriched. Sow 

 in drills I foot apart and i inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked. When the plants are 

 large enough, thin out to stand 6 inches apart in rows; continue sowing for a succession as late as 

 the middle of .August. Keep well cultivated. 



CROSBY EXTRA EARLY (American Grown).— A very superior strain 

 of blood-red Egyptian, carefully selected for years by Mr. Crosby, a noted market 

 gardener, whose aim was to secure a perfect forcing variety. The results obtained 

 were handsome form, good size, few small tops, very small tap root, fine 

 quality, and, above all, quick, rapid growth. The shape is very desirable, not 

 ciuite so flat as the ordinary Egyptian, nor so round as the Eclipse. Takes on its 

 turnip shape and looks well even in the early stage of its growth, on which account 

 it is preferred. Packet, 5 and 10c; { lb., 25c; 5 lb., 45c; lb., 85c.

 duction. The color is most distinct, being of a rich, deep crimson; in shape uni- 

 formly a perfect globe; the skin is smooth and clean. It is early in maturing, 

 and is proving specially desirable and profitable for market gardeners and truckers.

 favorite. Packet, 5c; oz., loc; j lb., 25c; lb., Si. 00. 



BOLGIANO'S EXTRA EARLY ECLIPSE BEET.— In all our experience 

 we have never had a Beet that took so well at the introduction, and for which the demand increased, 

 so much as this. It is valuable for home gardens and indispensable for market gardens. It was introduced 

 from Germany as a selection or hybrid from the famous Egyptian. It is remarkable for its very rapid growth, 

 the perfection of its form, which is globular, its beautiful crimson flesh, and for its dwarf foliage. 

 The roots are of a bright, glossy red, very fine grained. Packet, 5c; oz., loc; j lb., 20c; lb., 75c.
