CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN BEET. 



One of the best for the first open ground crop. The tops are 

 medium in size, the root round and slightly flattened. The flesh 

 is strongly marked in two shades of red. It bunches well, and is 

 of good quality. This variety produces a proportion of pale fleshed 

 roots. These have lighter colored tops and so may be easily 

 taken out when thinning. {See engraving.) Price, 10c. oz., 30c. 

 i lb., $1.00 lb. 



EGYPTIAN BEET. 



A standard extra early sort and one of the very best for the early 

 crop. The roots are round and flattened, of good size and deep 

 crimson in color. The tops are unusually small, making it a good 

 bunching sort. It should be marketed as soon as ready, as it is liable 

 to become woody if left too long. Our stock is specially selected 

 and of fine shape and color. Price, 10c. oz., 25c. | lb., 80c. lb. 



HENDERSON'S 



EXTRA EARLY ELECTRIC BEET. 



With the utmost confidence we urge the use of Electric for earliest 

 crops. It is not only early, but superior in every respect. The short, 

 slender tops grow so erect, that it takes less room than any other 

 sort. It is rapidly becoming popular for growing under glass- 

 Large areas are sown in frames very early in spring, and the frames 

 removed to mature the crop. The roots are round, smooth, clean 

 and of fine color. It makes a perfect bunch and the quality is 

 excellent. Price, 15c. oz., 45c. | lb., $1.50 lb. 



ECLIPSE BEET. 



One of the best to follow after the very early sorts. When young 

 it may be bunched, but it is also used as a basket beet, and is known 

 and sells freely on every market. It is medium in size, the tops 

 small for size of root, the outer color is dark and the flesh strongly 

 ringed in two shades of red. Price, 10c. oz., 25c. | lb., 80 cts. lb. 



DETROIT DARK RED BEET. 



We have an excellent selection of this well known variety, which 

 has become so popular among market gardeners. 



Its great value lies in its remarkable uniformity in size and color, 

 which shows to great advantage when marketed in the basket. 

 It is sometimes used for bunching, but sells best when used as a 

 basket beet. It is one of the best for fall crop, or to store for the 

 winter market. 



The outer color is dark, the roots are smooth, and very uniform 

 in shape. The flesh is of good color and of excellent quality. The 

 tops are medium is size, rather dark in color, and the whole plant 

 quite vigorous. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. oz., 30c. i lb., $1.00 lb.
