82 Maule's Market Gardeners' Beet 



Always Good. Never Past Its Prime 



This all season table beet is one of the best for general cul- 

 tivation for home use or for market gardeners. Makes a very 

 rapid growth from the start, often larger than Egyptian, age 

 for age. It continues to grow for a long period, making a heavy 

 I root for autumn or winter use. Only one sowing is necessary 

 to produce early beets for market and a main crop for winter 

 use. The quality is first-rate at all periods of growth, whether 

 the beet weighs a quarter of a pound or six pounds. It is a 

 good keeper and may be used all winter. When cooked, it is 

 of a beautiful, dark red color throughout, and of unsurpassed 

 table quality. The illustration shows the exact shape of our 

 Market Gardeners' beet. It is symmetrical in form and of 

 decidedly handsome appearance. There are but few fibrous 

 roots and the top is small. It should appeal strongly to market 

 gardeners and to everybody wanting an all season's table beet. 

 Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 25 cts.; \ pound, 75 cts.; pound, $2.50, postpaid. 



MAULE'S DARK RED EGYPTIAN BEET. 



si Maule's Dark Red 

 Egyptian 



The Earliest ol All lor Home or Market 



The Egyptian beet is one of the most popular 

 varieties among market gardeners for forcing 

 purposes. Justly or unjustly it is considered to 

 be the earliest of all. It certainly will bear close 

 planting in the valuable space under glass or 

 in a warm garden in early spring. It is turnip 

 shaped, and when young is crisp and tender. 

 In color it is dark red. To gardeners having a 

 preference for Egyptian, we offer the best strain.

DETROIT DARK RED BEET. 



84 Detroit Dark Red 



This early globe-shaped beet of excellent 

 quality is especially esteemed on account of 

 its dark red color, which extends entirely 

 through the beet, and without the light colored 

 rings seen in some varieties. The medium 

 sized beets are smooth and handsome and are 

 now being largely used for canning as well as 

 for the home garden or market. It retains 

 its good quality even after it gets large, and is 

 an excellent variety on this account for fall use 

 as well as for spring. We have a very fine strain 

 of this beet, being of uniform globe shape, 

 small tops and very dark red.

ECLIPSE BEET. 



74 Eclipse 



Is one of the best known of the table beets, 

 and we have a strain of extra purity and merit, 

 particularly noted for earliness. It is indeed 

 high praise to say that our Eclipse beet is 

 almost or quite as early as Egyptian, for the 

 latter has been loug accepted as the earliest of 

 all; and Eclipse has ever been recosuized as 

 superior to Egyptian in table value. Our strain 

 has small top aud is smooth, fine grained and 

 tender, with bright red color. Many market 

 gardeners have discarded Egyptian entirely in 

 favor of this strain of Eclipse, and for a home 

 garden sort it is one of the best.
