MAULE'S DARK RED EGYPTIAN Absolutely the most popular beet anions market 



gardeners for forcing purposes; considered by many the earliest of all. Koots are turnip 

 shaped, and when young are hard, crisp and tender; color a very dark red. I can particularly 

 recommend my strain to those desiring to sow the best strain of Egyptian Beet on the mar- 

 ket. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % pound, 20 cents; pound, GO cents; 5 pounds, 52.50. 



ECLIPSE. — My special strain of this popular beet is as early as the Egyptian, and by 

 many of my customers is considered to be of better quality and flavor. It has a remarkably 

 small top, is very smooth, fine grained and tender. Bright red in color. During the last few 

 years many of my market gardening friends have discarded Egyptian for this strain of 

 Eclipse Beet, and each year witnesses an increased demand for this variety. Packet, 5 cents; 

 ounce, 10 cents; \£ pound. 20 cents; pound, 60 cents; 5 pounds, 52.50. 



EDMAND'S TURNIP.— This is a very thoroughbred strain of Turnip Beet: very early, 

 good shape with small top. It has given excellent satisfaction on the Boston and other New 

 England markets where it has long been considered a most popular variety. Packet, 5 cents; 

 ounce, 10 cents; % pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents; 5 pounds, $2.50. 



PHILADELPHIA EARLY TURNIP This is a very early beet, maturing about the 



same time, or a little later, than Eclipse. It is very rich and sugary, and is highly thought of 

 by all who have ever sown it. Flesh is in alternate rings of light and dark pink, but boils red. 

 It is a very smooth variety, and a decidedly profitable one for marketing. Packet, 5 cenvs; 

 ounce, 10 cents; ^ pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents; 5 pounds, 32.50.

MAULE'S BLOOD TURNIP — The Blood Turnip beet is known the world over as a most 

 desirable variety, and there are any number of strains, good, bad and indifferent. Iiaving 

 grown what I consider the most desirable and carefully selected of all these various stocks, I 

 have for several years been supplying it to thousands of my customers to their entire satisfac- 

 tion. It is nearly as early as Egyptian, but surpasses the latter variety in flavor. Color a 

 rich, dark red; roots fine grained, globular shape, with small top. Free from side or tibrons 

 roots, always remarkably smooth. Excellent for forcing and a very superior keeper, thus 

 making it also desirable for winter use. Cooks sweet, tender and crisp, and in every w ay may 

 be considered the standard sort lor the market and home gardener. Has made a good crop 

 seven weeks from sowing. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; lb. 51.00; 5 lbs.. S3.75.
