SUGAR BEETS. 
I have taken great pains to get the best varieties of the Sugar 
Beet. Those varieties that give the largest yield of roots contain 
the smallest proportion of sugar, and conversely, the kinds rich- 
est in sugar give the lightest crops of roots to the acre.

contains 16 per cent, of sugar, jdelds moderately heavy crops. 
Considered the richest in sugar of any of the Sugar Beets. A 
fine table beet. Per packet, 5 cents ; oz., 10 cents ; i lb., 30 cents ;

1 never knew what good seed was until I commenced dealing 
with you In the two years past, the seed we got of you has 
germinated and grown finely, and we have had the best garden 
we have ever had. M SE AGER Etna, N. Y. 
The seeds I have bought of you, the past two or three years, 
have proved very satisfactory. I think they excel in two partic- 
ulars : First, in vitality, producing strong and vigorous plants 
in abundance, and second, in being true to name — two very im- 
portant points. W. A.. JACOBS, Port Byron, N. Y.
