SteckUer's Extra Early. The earliest 

 rariety in cultivation. Unequalled in quality. 

 It originated with a leading market gardener, 

 and was brought to perfection after years of 

 careful cultivation. It is a rich, blood red 

 beet of fine grain and flavor, is earlier than 

 either the Egyptian or Eclipse, of smooth and 

 rapid growth; top and tap roots being very 

 small. Market gardeners should not fail to 

 give it a trial. 



Eclipse. A new beet from Germany; 

 very regular; of globular shape. It has a 

 small top, is of dark blood red color, sweet 

 and fine grained flesh. It comes earlier than 

 the Egyptian. 



Long Red Mange! Wursel. This is raised 

 for stock; it grows to a large size. Here in 

 the South where stock is not stabled during 



Dewing's Early Red Turnip Beet. 



Eclipse Beet. 



the winter, the raising of root crops is much 

 neglected. Being very profitable for feeding 

 it ought to be more cultivated.

 selected variety; regular in shape; deep blood 

 skin, dark flesh of excellent quality. Small 

 tap root and small top.

 planted at ail for the market and very little 

 for family use.

 a good kind for family use.
