Philadelphia Half-Long 



(Grown at Windermoor) 



One of the most important Beets in our trade, and therefore one 

 about which we have taken a great deal of care to assure our customers 

 of trueness to the original type. The stock we offer is grown and selected 

 on our Windermoor Farm, and we stand back of it with the full assur- 

 ance that it will give as good satisfaction as any half-long Beet which 

 has ever been produced. As a late Beet for winter and spring use it is 

 unexcelled. The roots are deep red in color, very smooth and uniform. 

 The interior is a rich red, zoned with a lighter red, and the flesh is sweet 

 and tender. It retains its eating qualities longer than any other sort 

 we know of. When matured the root is about 33^ inches in diameter 

 and will mature under favorable conditions in from sixty to sixty-five 

 days. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V^lh. 30 cts., lb. $1. 



^4 New Century Late 



Walter P. Stokes introduced this Beet from Lancaster County, 

 Pennsylvania, three seasons ago. It is of a half-long globe-shape type, 

 brownish red on the outside, and the interior is a deep red throughout 

 every stage of its growth. It is a late winter Beet and should not be 

 sown as a spring variety. The introducer says of it, "It is, without 

 qualification, the best Beet that can possibly be planted for late fall or winter use, and we strongly recommend 

 it to our market-growing friends for this purpose, for it makes a fine appearance when prepared for market. 

 It can be used in all stages of growth, from the very youngest Beet until it attains a size of five to six pounds in 

 weight. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts,, V^lb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25. 



SWISS CHARD, or SEA KALE 



(Cut-and-Come-AgaIn) 



This excellent but little-known vegetable is sometimes listed as Silver or 

 Spinach Beet. It is used extensively for its large, tender leaves and leaf-stalks 

 which are cut just as you would cut spinach. Later in the season the broad, 

 flat, wax-like leaf-stems are cooked and pickled as celery. It is a vegetable 

 N\ hich is worthy of a place in every garden but it is too little known by the 

 majority of planters. We feel that market-gardeners have not taken it up as 

 extensively as they should. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., y^lh. 30 cts.

 Late Beet

Giant Lucullus 



By all means the best strain of Chard to be had. The stalks are nearly as 

 thick and broad as rhubarb, and from 10 to 12 inches long below the leaf. The 

 plant is from 2 to 23^ feet high. The leaves are heavily crumpled or savoyed, 

 and are very crisp and tender. Sown outdoors the usable size is reached in 

 nine to ten weeks, but the leaves may be cut earlier than this. Mrt. 5 cts., 

 oz. 15 cts., V4lb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25.
