New Beet 



The Fireball 



Mr. Vaughan, the introducer, says: This 

 new beet is perfectly globe shaped, extra 

 early in season and earlier than Crosby's. 

 The skin is smooth, the flesh is solid with 

 a very sweet flavor, and of a bright intense 

 red color. The tap root is tiny and the leaf 

 stalks are quite small, making it valuable 

 for early and late sowing in frames. It is 

 also very desirable in the open ground 

 where it retains its fresh table qualities 

 better than most beets. In home gardens 

 it is absolutely without a superior. We be- 

 lieve this variety will prove one of the 

 most popular beets introduced in years.

DETROIT DARK RED 



BEET 



A grand Beet for bunching for market. Top small and upright, 

 admitting of close planting. Roots are perfect turnip shaped with 

 small tap root; skin dark blood red, flesh deep blood red, zoned 

 with a lighter shade, tender and sweet, remaining so long after 

 many sorts become woody. A fine market gardener's beet. Price 

 per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 20 cts., lb. 60 cts. 



Have had good results from your seeds in the past, so have induced my neighbors to order from 

 you this year, as you will notice from the many orders you receive from our place. — Mrs. M. H.

CRIMSON GLOBE BEET 



This is a most valuable introduc- 

 tion. It is a very early variety, skin 

 smooth and it is as handsome a 

 beet as you can find. The root is not 

 large, averaging about 3 inches in 

 diameter. The leaves are quite small 

 with slender stems. There is no var- 

 iety where richness of color in both 

 top and roots is so beautifully com- 

 bined as in this sort. Color of flesh 



rich deep red shading to purple, is 

 fine grained and flavor cannot be 

 surpassed. Judges appear to be 

 unanimous as to its excellent qual- 

 ity and as a superior market beet.
