 North.) Ts hardier, earlier and a better yielder than all other varie- 

 ties, and is fast supplanting the older sorts. Its hardiness make* it 

 almost proof against the "blight," which has played havoc with so 

 many plantations during the past few years. Its eating qualities are 

 unsurpassed, and its appearance when Dunched for market is superior 

 to all others. We recommend it as the best either for the North or 

 the South.

BEETS 



FOR TME MARKET GARDENER. 



EGYPTIAN BEET. 



This variety after being grown for many years is conceded by all 

 alike to be one of the very best early sorts. The roots are rather flat, 

 irregular shaped with a dark outer color ; flesh dark crimson. While 

 the tops are short, they are slim and upright, making it a good at- 

 tractive bunching sort. Our stock is especially selected for shape 

 and color with even tops. 15c I lb ; 40c lb. ;' (10 lb lots 35c lb.) 



DEWING'S BEET. 



A favorite sort among truckers, used quite extensively for winter 

 storing. The tops are large and strong growing, the roots smooth, 

 almost round and tapering at base. 



The outer color of the root is dark and quite attractive, making it 

 very valuable for market work. The inner color is good, the flesh 

 being quite strongly ringed with bright red and white. 15c i lb., 

 40c lb. 1,10 lbs. and upwards, 35c lb.) 



CROSBy'S EGyPTIA/N BEET. 



Ai» excellent first early variety, making marketable roots before any other sort. It 

 te deeper in sh< pe than the old Egyptian and roots are a little larger though not so 

 dark or uniform in color of flesh. It is an excellent variety, and is very largely used 

 In all sections, particularly in the east. (See Cut). 15c i lb., 50c lb. 



DETROIT BA-RK -RED BEET. 



Though not a new variety, we have found by repeated trials that it is fine in every 

 respect. It has proven to be very valuable for' Market Gardeners' use, because of its 

 wonderful uniformity in character. Our cut gives a good idea of its shape ; it is 

 medium in size, always smooth and very free from small roots. The tops are 18 

 inches in height and of most attractive color. The flesh is tender, fine grained, and 

 remains so, long after many sorts have become tough. It is admirable for early or 

 late marketing, whether in bunches or otherwise ; it always finds a readv sale. (See 

 cut.) 15c I lb , 50c lb 



ELECTRIC BEET. 



While this sort is unsurpassed for general marketing, it is particularly valuable for 

 critical tnde ; there is no variety that is so finely bred. RP 1 



It combines more good qualities than any one variety; almost round; leaves are 

 small and close to the centre ; color of flesh dark crimson", alternating with rings of a 

 lighter hue. The constancy of color in every bulb largely enhances its vdue It is 

 extremely early. The flesh is of delicate tex'ture, rich and sugary. 20c i lb., 50c lb. 



ECLIPSE BEET. 



This popular variety follows immediately after Egyptian in season, has equally 

 small tops, and being almost round in shape makes a very attractive bunch. We have 

 a finely selected stock which matures very uniformly, grown especially to meet the 

 requirements of the Market Gardener, and can be thoroughly relied on for main crop. 

 15c i lb.. 40c lb. (10 lb lots, 35c lb.)
