The FOUR BEST BEETS For Market-Oardeners 



HOLMES BEET 



Exceedingly tender, magnificent 

 form, and blood red flesh 



A VALUABLE MARKET 

 GARDEN VARIETY 



Extremely early, of perfect globe shape and of the finest quality. This Beet we sent out several years ago 

 as No. 27, and the many excellent reports we received, convinced us that it was a Beet worthy of introduction. 

 Our trials also convinced us that it was a Beet far superior to anything we had yet introduced. In the words of 

 one of 'our customers who planted this Beet for trial and who describes the qualities and merits, we give herewith : 



" The sample of the New Beet, JVo 27, was duly received and planted. I can truthfully say tliat it is the 

 finest early Mood Met I have ever grown, coming in about the same time as your 'Harrisburg MarJcet.' It 

 has an exceedingly short top, is of good color and fine appearance, being very smooth, while it attains a good 

 size rapidly. It readily sells on the marhet on its own merits and I do not have to handle this Beet at all, 

 but customers pick it up and buy it without asking any questions. It has a single tap-root, toithout any addi- 

 tional roots.'' (Signed) G. W. HOUSJEB, Fort Hunter, Pa.

Holmes' Deep Blood TURNIP BEET 



We have been trying, at the instigation of many of our market-gardening customers, to secure a Beet 

 whick comes early^ is of deep blood color, and has small tops. We have succeeded in securing a variety that, 

 while not as early as the Harrisburg Market, has the color and texture desired. From trials made it proves 

 to be the best deep blood Beet for market gardeners. Pkt. 5c., oz. lOc, ^ lb. 30c., lb. 80c., by ma!l»
