NEW EARLY WONDER BEET. 



TO 



New Early Wonder Beet 



Extremely early, deep red in color, 

 tender and sweet 



This wonderful new early beet is-the result of years reselect- 

 ing and improving, and is now so perfected that we believe it 

 is one of the earliest and best turnip shaped beets grown. 

 It is much earlier than Crosby's Egyptian and is finer 

 grained, of perfect shape and beautiful, deep red color. The 

 tops are not quite as large as Crosby's Egyptian, which 

 permits close planting, and excellent for bunching; a desir- 

 able early sort for the home garden as well as for market. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound, 75 cents; 

 pound, $2.50. 



Maule's Market King Beet 



The best late winter keeper 



Market King is a quick grower and soon reaches maturity; 

 one of the best main crop beets and is an excellent keeper. The 

 solidity, fineness and firmness of its bright red flesh makes it 

 one of the best keeping varieties. It is always a ready seller on 

 the market stall, where a symmetrical shaped beet is wanted. 



On the points of flavor and table quality, we would lay 

 especial emphasis, for it is an ideal beet for household use. It 

 can be used at all stages of growth, and it is almost needless to 

 say that a sweet and succulent half long blood beet like this is 

 sure to become a market favorite. 



The shape and solidity of Market King favor extra heavy 

 cropping, and we recommend it to our customers knowing that 

 it will be profitable and popular. As a winter keeper it is one^ 

 of the best of the half long blood strains. If it were not for 

 our knowledge of its high table quality and great cropping 

 ability, we w T ould not give it so much prominence. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound, 70 cents; 

 pound, $2.25.

 der. A standard sort of well established merit;

CRIMSON GLOBE BEET. 



Crimson Globe 



A handsome variety of medium size, almost 

 globe shape, and entirely free from rootlets; a 

 grand second early or main crop sort. The 

 foliage is small but just right for bunching or 

 for forcing under glass. Of a rich bronze pur- 

 ple, borne on slender stems which occupy but a 

 small portion of the root. The flesh is a rich 

 blood red, slightly zoned or ringed in a most 

 beautiful manner, making it very attractive in 

 appearance: always sweet and tender. In the 

 home garden, it is a most excellent sort. 



Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 70c; lb., S2.25.
