Extra Early Crosby Egyptian J^^.^^L^L^. 



as it resembles the Egyptian only in its extreme earli- 

 ness. The stock I offer is of a distinct dark red color, 

 which is very attractive, not only in the beets as pulled, 

 but after they have been cooked. They are also more 

 spherical than the extra early flat Egyptian, and I 

 know of no better quality. One of the best for plant- 

 ing early out of doors. It becomes fit for use sooner 

 than any other variety, and is equally suited for forcing 

 in hot beds or for transplanting. Price, packet, 5c. and
