BOLGIANO'S EXTRA EARLY ECLIPSE BEET. 



The remarkable de- 

 mand and the ever in- 

 creasing popularity of 

 this beet would com- 

 pel us, if we had not 

 from our own tests 

 passed judgment upon 

 it, to rank it among 

 the most valuable va- 

 rieties we have for 

 either market or pri- 

 vate gardens. It was 

 introduced from Ger- 

 many 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, of 

 its beautiful crimson flesh and for its dwarf foliage. 

 The roots are of a bright glossy red, very fine grained 

 and of a delicious flavor. Packet 5 cents ; ounce, 10 

 cents ; % pound, 15 cents ; y 2 pound, 20 cents ; 

 pound, 35 cents. 



Lentz's Extra Early Blood Turnip. — We 



recommend it as containing all the valuable essen- 

 tials of an early beet. It is nearly as early as the 

 Egyptian, but larger and of better quality, of fine 

 dark red color, tender and sweet at all times, whether 

 old or young. It has a very small top, and will pro- 

 duce a crop in six weeks from time of planting the 

 seed. It is very productive and a good keeper ; al- 

 ways tender. Packet, 5 c«nts ; ounce, 10 cents ; )i 

 pound, 15 cents; % pound, 20 cents; pound, 35 

 cents. 



Half Long- Blood Beet. — We recommend this 

 beet to be of great value. Its roots are of a pleasing 

 shape, its flesh is dark deep red and very tender and 

 sweet. As a fall and winter beet it has few equals. 

 Its keeping qualities are of the best. Packet, 5 cents ; 

 ounce, 10 cents: % pound, 15 cents; l / 2 pound, 25 

 cents ; pound, 40 cents. 



EDMAND'S BLOOD TURNIP l.BEET. 



This is the most 

 thoroughly fixed and 

 uniform in type. 

 The flesh is deep 

 blood red in color, 

 and exceedingly 

 sweet and tender in 

 quality. It is round 

 and smooth in shape 

 ' and of good market 

 (size. It does not 

 I grow over large, 

 where room is per- 

 mitted, as many 

 kinds are apt to do, 

 therefore needs not 

 to be thinned so 

 much as most varie- 

 ties. It grows a 

 small top, and but a 

 single tap root, which 

 fact commends it- 

 self to the garden- 

 er's attention who 

 grows beets for 

 bunching purposes. 

 Packets, 5 cents and 10 cents ; % pound, 15 cents ; 

 l / 2 pound, 20 cents ; pound, 35 cents.

Mangel- Wurzel Beet for Cattle Food. 



FOUR POUNDS TO THE ACRE. 



CULTURE OF CATTE BEETS.—They should be sown from April to June in drills 2 feet apart, and 

 foot apart in the rows. Keep well cultivated, and you will have an abundant 



afterwards thinned out to stand 

 crop of roots for winter use. 



Golden Tankard Yellow-Fleshed Mangel. 



This distinct variety is a most important addition to 

 our list of roots for stock feeding, as it contains less 

 water and more sugar than any other Mangel. A 

 special feature is the rich, deep yellow color of the flesh, 

 nutricious and milk-producing qualities. In Eng- 

 land, where it is considered indispensable for dairy 

 farming, large dairy farmers state that they are not 

 only able to obtain a higher price per gallon for milk 

 from cows fed on this Mangel, but als© that the cows 

 are in much better condition. Packets, 5 cents and 

 10 cents ; % pound, 15 cents ; pound. 25 cents ; 5 

 pounds, $1. 



Improved Sugar Beet for Making Sugar. 

 Is a very large-growing sort ; used also for feeding 

 stock. Recommended as hardy and very productive, 

 yielding thirty-five to forty tons to the acre, and con- 

 taining a greater percentage of sugar. Packets, 5 

 and 10 cents; y pound, 15 cents; pound, 30 cents ; 

 5 pounds, $1. 



Giant Mangel- Wurzel. —The heaviest cropping 

 and best Long Mangel. This mammoth variety grows 

 to an immense size, single roots weighing from 20 to 

 30 pounds each, and always of very fine texture and 

 good quality, it is remarkable for the broad shoulder 

 and massive shape of the root by which a great weight 

 is obtained, without coarseness. % pound, 15 cents; 

 pound, 25 cents; 5 pound, $1.

 gardener, Mr. Maylors, but also to your excellen I 

 seeds, which have given great satisfaction.
