New Beet 



The Fireball 



Mr. Vaughan, the Introducer, says: 

 This new beet is perfectly globe shap- 

 ed, extra early in season and earlier 

 than Crosby's. The skin is smooth, the 

 flesh is solid with a very sweet flavor, 

 and of a bright intense red color. The 

 top root is tiny and the leaf stalks are 

 quite small, making it valuable for early 

 and late sowing in frames. It is also 

 very desirable in the open ground where 

 it retains its fresh table qualities better 

 than most beets. In home gardens it is 

 absolutely without a superior. We be- 

 lieve this variety will prove one of the 

 most popular beets introduced in years. 

 Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., % 

 ib. 35 cts., lb. $1.00. 



CRIMSON GLOBE BEET 



This is a most valuable intro- 

 duction. It is a very early variety, 

 skin smooth and it is as handsome 

 a beet as you can find. The root is 

 not large, averaging about 3 inch- 

 es in diameter. The leaves are 

 quite small with slender stems. 

 There is no variety where richness 

 of color in both top and roots is so 

 beautifully combined as in this 

 sort. Color of flesh rich deep red 

 shading to purple, is fine grained 

 and flavor cannot be surpassed. 

 Judges appear to be unanimous as 

 to its excellent quality and as a 

 superior market beet. Price per 

 pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., & lb. 35 cts., 

 lb. $1.00. 



Improved Danish Ball Head 



Improved Danish Ballhead Cabbage 



This variety is also sold under the name of 

 Hollander, German Export and Dutch Winter, 

 and today stands without a peer, as the hard- 

 est heading cabbage, longest keeping qualities, 

 and great weight for its size. This variety 

 has been selected and perfected for more than 

 fifty years by the Danish gardeners. 



In Denmark and Holland it is grown almost 

 exclusively for winter cabbage, and they an- 

 nually export large quantities to other coun- 

 tries. It will stand long journeys and keep 

 far into the spring, the heads are of medium 

 size, are very solid and deep, and of a fine 

 white color, making them entirely different 

 from any other strain, and they keep better 

 than any other sort, the heads being just as 

 solid and perfect when taken up in the spring 

 as when they were put away in the fall. 



Quality fine, being tender and crisp, with but 

 little waste heart. This will do best if plant- 

 ed a week or ten days earlier than our com- 

 mon drumhead sorts, and on deep, heavy loam, 

 and liberally manured land. 

 Per pkt. 5 cts.. oz. 25 cts., % lb. $1.00.
