V NEW CRIMSON GLOBE BEET 



CRinSON GLOBE BEET 



COLUHBiA BEET 



The handsome appearance of this new Beet is well 

 shown in the illustration. The roots are of a neat 

 turnip-shape, with smooth skin and deep blood-red 

 flesh, of rich, tender qualitj'. It is ready to use 

 very earl}', growing as quickly as does the Egj'ptian 

 while it does not become coarse and stringy. Com- 

 pared with such famous sorts as Edmand's and 

 Eclipse the Columbia has proved as early and even 

 better in quality than these two really first-class va- 

 rieties. In habit of growth it is remarkably thor- 

 oughbred, the foliage being small, neat, and of a 

 rich bronze color. We are sure that market garden- 

 ers will find it a splendid variety, while its fine 

 flavor as a table beet will delight all private plant- 

 ers. Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 20 cts., 

 lb. 65 cts. 



This is a most valuable introduc- 

 tion. It is a very early variety, skin 

 is smooth and it is as handsome a 

 beet as you can find. The root is not 

 large, averaging about 3 inches in 

 diameter. The leaves are quite small 

 with slender stems. There is no var- 

 iety where richness of color in both 

 top and roots is so beautifully com- 

 bined as in this sort. Color of flesh 

 rich deep red shading to purple, is 

 fine grained and flavor cannot be sur- 

 passed. Judges appear to be unani- 

 mous as to its excellent quality and 

 as a superior market beet. Price per 

 pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 25 cts., 

 lb. 75 cts. 



COLUMBIA BEET 



NEW SWEET CORN 



EARLY PREMO 



It not only combines 

 all the merits of the 

 leading early varieties, 

 but it is also really 

 superior to them in 

 size, quality and 

 yield. Premo can be 

 planted fully as early 

 as the Adams, for the 

 young plants with- 

 stand considerable cold 

 or slight frosts it is 

 dalmed, while other 

 varieties are tender 

 and the seeds will rot 

 if planted before the 

 soil becomes warm. 

 The stalks grow about 

 five feet high, and are 

 very vigorous, gener- 

 ally bearing two well 

 developed ears to a 

 stalk. Many favorable 

 reports have been re- 

 ceived regarding this 

 variety for the last 

 two years.
