 many sections of the country and the manj^ good reports received 

 from our customers indicate that it gives most thorough satisfac- 

 tion. The root is of inedium size, generally about three 

 inches in diameter, very handsome in shape, being a 

 little deeper than round, with a remarkably smooth 

 surface. It has a very small tap-root. The very 

 dark leaves are small and borne on slender stems 

 which occupy but a small portion of the bulb; butit 

 is the exquisite tenderness of the flesh and the com- 

 plete absence of any stringy or woody character that 

 so thoroughly distinguish this Beet. The interior 

 color is very deep crimson throughout, ringed . or 

 zoned in a most beautiful manner, making it very 

 attractive in appearance. (See cut.) Price, 10c. "pkt.,
