BEETS 



One Ounce of Seed Will Sow One Hundred Feet of Drill 



Select a deep, rich sandy loam and manure with well decomposed compost or a good chemical fertilizer. Sow in drills, 14 

 to 16 inches apart, and cover 1 inch deep. When the young plants appear, thin to 4 or 5 inches apart. For early use, sow aa 

 soon as the ground can be worked in the spring; for autumn use, about the middle of May, and for winter use, during June 

 or July, according to the variety — the long varieties requiring more time to mature than the round, early kinds.

 Improved Egryptlan. 



EGYPTIAN BEET. 



CROSBY'S IMPROVED 



A very superior strain of the 

 well-known Egyptian, carefully 

 selected, blood color, quick, rapid 

 growth. The shape is very desir- 

 able, as sh'iwn in the accompany- 

 ing photograph, being not so round 

 as the Eclipse, or quite so flat as 

 the ordinary Egyptian. It may be 

 sown outside as late as July. 



Eclipse Beet. 



ECLIPSE BEET. 



This extra early Beet is remark- 

 able for its fine quality and rapid 

 growth; is of deep red color and 

 handsome shape. A.s an early mar- 

 ket sort it is unrivaled. It is to a 

 large extent superseding the Egyp- 

 tian, being earlier in development, 

 more attractive in appearance, and of 

 superior quality for the table. 



G. & T. CO.'S EARLY BLOOD TtJXtNTF B2ETS. 



This is our Special Stock of Early Blood Turnip 

 Beet, which we have been growing for a number 

 of years, and which the market gardeners of Balti- 

 more and other places prefer. It is of dark red 

 color, handsome shape and early. 



EARLY WONDER BEET 



This grand new Beet, recently introduced, is early. Red 

 with short tops, fine for bunching. E.oots are of good, uni- 

 form size, slightly oval, and of deep blood red, has slim 

 tap roots, fine grain, tender and sweet. Never gets stringy 

 or woody. Fine for both home use and market garden. 



EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN. 



This is a flat Beet, very early and deep red color. Owing 

 to the small top it can be planted very close. 



SWISS CHARD 



(Sea Kale or Spinach Beet.) 



Detroit Dark Red Turnip Beet 



This is one 

 of the finest 

 formed and 

 h a n dsomest- 

 colored Beets 

 on the market. 

 It is unsur- 

 passed in the 

 u n i f o r mity 

 I and beauty of 

 the crop. It is 

 e X c e ed ingly 

 iarly, and pro- 

 duces more 

 market able 

 specimens o n 

 the same acre- 

 age thar any 

 other variety. 



This kind 

 of beet is 

 grown e X - 

 jlusively for 

 the numer- 

 ous, fleshy, 

 tenderleaves 

 and leaf 

 stalks which are superior to 

 those of other beets for use as 

 greens. Later in the season the 

 wax-like leaf stems are cooked 

 like asparagus or are pickled. 

 This variety we offer has large, 

 broad, undulated leaves, and re- 

 markably broad stalks and mid- 

 ribs or chards. It is well worthy 

 of a place in the home garden, 

 as well as for market use.
