142 Crimson Globe. This beet is remarkable for its 
smooth skin and good shape. 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. Pkt., 10 ets.; oz., 
20 cts.; + lb. 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 
145 Dreer’s Special Crosby’s Egyptian. This spe- 
cial selection of extra early beet is as great an im- 
provement over the ordinary Crosby Egyptian as the 
latter variety is over the old-time Egyptian Blood 
Turnip Beet and is valuable both for the expert 
gardener and the amateur, on account of its reliability 
to produce a uniform crop of best quality. In the 
production of this seed, selection is not only made 
for shape, but also for extreme earliness and high 
quality. The skin is very smooth, bright red and 
flesh rich vermilion, with faint zones, very sweet 
and tender. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 20 ects.; } lb., 50 
ets.; lb., $1.75. 
167 Swiss Chard, Giant Lucullus. An excellent and 
most useful vegetable, a row or two of which should 
be in every garden. This variety will quickly pro- 
duce plants from which leaves may be cut all sum- 
mer, aS you can cut right down to the ground, and 
new shoots will soon spring up and make a fast 
growth. Those plants which are allowed to grow 
will make large curly leaves, with thick light-colored 
mid-ribs, which are delicious when cooked and served 
like asparagus, while the leafy parts make excellent 
“greens.” Pkt., 10 ets.; oz., 20 cts.3;.4 lb, 50
