ECLIPSE Eclipse Is as early I flud as the Egyptian, and besides 



is OF BETTER QUALITY and COLOR. Has a remarkably small top. 

 Is very smooth ; line grained and tender ; bright red in color. Many market 

 gardeners have already discarded Egyptian for Eclipse, and this year the latter 

 will be more largely sown than ever. Pkt., 10 c.; oz., 15 c; % lb., 30 c; lb., 90 c. 



MAULE'S DARK RED EGYPTIAN, — The earliest ; the most i>op- 

 ular among market-gardeners for forcing purposes. Roots, when young, are bard, 

 crisp and tender, and in color very dark red. I can particularly recom- 

 mend my seed to those desiring the best strain of Egyptian Beet 

 In the market. Pkt., 5 Cts.; oz., 10 cts.; % lb., 20 cts.; lb., 60 cts.; 5 lbs., 82.50.

MAUL.E S BLOOD TURNIP The Blood 



Turnip Beet is known the world over as a most 

 desirable variety, and there are anv number of 

 strains, good bad and indifferent. Having grown 

 what I consider the most desirable and carefully 

 selected of all these various stocks, I have for sev- 

 eral years been supplying it to thousands of my 

 customers, to their entire satisfaction. It 

 is nearly as early as the Egyptian, but surpasses 

 the latter variety in flavor. Color a rich, dark 

 red ; roots finegrained, globular-shaped, with 

 small top. Free from side or fibrous roots, 

 and is always remarkably smooth. Excellent 

 for forcing, and moreover, it is a very superior 

 keeper, thus making it ulso desirable for 

 winter use. Cooks sweet, tender and crisp, 

 and In every way may be considered the 

 standard sort for the market- and home-gar - 

 dener. Has made a good crop 7 weeks from 

 sowing. Pkt., 10c; oz., l."x\; ^ lb. 30c; lb. 90c.
