CONDON'S *'Sure Crop" BEETS 
272 Crosby's Egyptian 
"Extra Selected Strain" 
The name of this variety is misleading, as it re- 
sembles tlie Egyptian only in its extreme earliness. 
Tops small. The roots are nearly round, or slightly 
flattened, and very smooth. Exterior color of root 
bright red. Flesh bright vermilion-red, zoned with a 
lighter shade; very sweet, tender and of excellent 
quality. One of the best for early planting outdoors. 
It brcome's fit for use sooner than any other variety, 
but it is not as well suited as the Egyptian for forcing 
in hotbeds or for transplanting. Our stock is excep- 
tionally unifcirm in shape and color. Packet, 5 cts.; 
0UHce,'l2 cts.; lb., 22 cts.; 5/2 lb., 40 cts.; lb., 75 
cts.; postpaid.

Excellent Table and Market Beet

slender tap-root. This

ed for second early and 
main crop purposes, it is 
a splendid mid-season va-

, be without this most ex- 
ccllenti sort. Packet, 5

274 Detroit Dark Red 
Main Cropper 
274 Detroit 
Dark Red 
Detroit Dark Red beet has long 
been regarded as the standard ot 
excellence. It is very early, nearly 
as early as Egyptian, and greatly 
passes that variety in flavor. The 
color is rich, dark red, and the 
shape is gloliuljir. It is flne-crainerl 
in textura and has a small top. It 
is !free from side or fibrous roots, 
being always smooth. It is excel- 
lent for forcing; for a main spring 
and summer crop, or for use in win- 
ter, a.s it is a good keeper. It cooks 
sweet, tender and crisp; 
and !s in every way a 
standard sort for the mar- 
ket or home gardener. 
Has made a good crop in 
seven weeks from sowing.
