Early Blood Turnip 



2 J fi This is a great improvement upon the old variety. Early Blood 

 Turnip Beet. It is a great favorite with many gardeners and is 

 very attractive in appearance, the roots being smooth and uniform, and 

 the color deep blood red. The flesh is tender and sweet, and it is an 

 excellent variety for canning. This variety should be sown for a late 

 crop on account of its quickness in maturing. For winter storage it is 

 unexcelled. (See illustration.) Price, pkt. 10c.; oz. 20c.; } 4 lb. 60c.;

Early Wonder 



219 This beet, which is a selection from Crosby's Egyptian, keeps 

 remarkably well, and is suitable for either spring or fall sowing. 

 Early Wonder matures two weeks earlier than any other marketable 

 beet, and one of its good points is that entire fields can be harvested 

 at one -time because all the roots mature at the same time. The roots 

 are globe-shaped and uniform in size, the tops are small; the 'skin is 

 deep red and the flesh a very dark red with little zoning. This variety 

 is now in great demand and we advise early orders. (See illustration. )
