 beet that was perfect In the WONDERFUL we believe we have 

 PERFECTION In the earliness it has no equal. Dark red in color so 

 much in demand, perfectly SMOOTH. HANDSOME SHAPED. FINE- 

 GRAINED. TENDER FLESH. When pulled it comes clean of the 

 ground with onlv a small TAP ROOT. For HOT BEDS. COLD 

 FRAMES and TRANSPLANTING it is truly WONDERFUL. It will 

 be ready for the market at least ONE WEEK EARLIER than other 

 sorts. This beet has taken the lead in our New York Market. Long 

 Island growers demand it and are willing to pay fancy prices rather 

 than use other sorts for early market. Price: Pkt. 5c. and 10c; 

 1 ounce. 15c; U lb.. 30c; 1 lb.. $1.00. 



SUPERB EXTRA EARLY BKET. Has taken the lead among the 

 early turnip-shape beet entirely by superb merit of everything pertain- 

 ing to a beet to make it a recognized leader. It is very early, s to 10 

 days ahead of other early sorts now offered. The shape is uniformly 

 perfect, being entirely free from fibrous side roots, which are so 

 objectionable. In fact, it is the smoothest beet within our knowledge.

 besides having a very small top. is an ideal for bunching. Will product' 

 a crop inside of seven weeks from sowing. Is excellent for forcing as 

 well as for main crop. Pkt., 5 and 10c; 1 ounce, 15c; "t lb., 30c; 1

BO] Bl UfOT GRAND TOMATO. Few introductions of late years 

 have taken as well as this GRAND NEW TOMATO. It has become a , 

 standard Main Crop Tomato. The large, smooth, pink fruit makes it 

 the finest Tomato that has come to the Washington market the past 

 two seasons. This is no old variety with a new name, but a Grand New 

 Pink Late Tomato. It has surpassed the old varieties in that it does 

 not show the tendency to blight, as many of the older sorts do. We 

 are sure that wherever it has once been used it will be used again

 that the demand is going to be large. Pkt., 5 and 10c; 1 ounce, 25c; 

 M lb., 75c; 1 lb.. $2.50. 



THE GREATER BALTIMORE TOMATO. This Tomato has reached the highest peak of success. In a three years' 

 test it produced 16't tons to the acre against 131/3 tons of the Stone on the average. While we recommend the Stone 

 Tomato, we say and believe the Greater Baltimore Tomato is better in every way. Large, smooth, bright red color — very 

 productive. Fine for Table, Canning and Market. It ripens well up to the stem end. and does not crack. It is extremely 

 heavy; a measured bushel often weighing 65 lb. to 70 lb. Price: Pkt., 5 & 10c; 1 oz. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; Vl lb. 65c; 1 lb. $2.00. 

 JOHN BAER TOMATO. This Tomato was introduced last year; in some localities it gave great satisfaction, proving all 

 that was claimed for it. being the earliest, finest tomato yet introduced. One man who had five acres in this tomato says 



that he prefers it to all other early sorts. There are a number who have 

 made the same statement. Price: Pkt., 5 and 10c; 1 ounce, 30c; Vi lb., $1.00; 

 t lb., $3.50.

 on earth. Best for Table, for Market, for Shipping. It is the greatest pro- 

 ducer of all varieties, and at all stages it is dark rich green color and retains its

 off-color. Price: Pkt., 5 and 10c; % lb., 30c; 1 lb., $1.00.
