CONDON'S "Sure Crop" BEETS 
CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN 
EXTRA SELECTED STRAIN 
A Standard Early Variety of Great Merit 
The name of this variety is misleading, as it resem- 
bles the 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 becomes fit for use 
sooner than any other variety, but it is not as well suited 
as the Egyptian for forcing in hotbeds or for trans- 
planting. Our stock is exceptionally uniform in shape 
and color. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 12 cents; 54 pound, 32 
cents; pound, 60 cents; pound, $1.10, postpaid. 
CRIMSON GLOBE 
Excellent Table and Market 
Beet 
Of fine shape, very small tap- 
root, deep crimson flesti of fine 
grrain, surprisingly sweet flavor 
and unsurpassed quality. The 
foliage is small — leaves all grow 
from a very small crown in the 
top of the bulb. The beets are 
entirely free from fibrous rootlets, 
having only a slender tap-root. 
This beet is extensively planted 
for second early and main crop 
purposes, it is a splendid mid-sea- 
son variety. Does well here and 
in the South. No up-to-date grow- 
er can afford to be without this 
most excellent new sort. Packet, 
4 cents; ounce, 11 cents; Vt pound, 
28 cents; pound, 50 cents; 
pound, 90 cents, postpaid.

STINSON

valuable for forcing because 
it produces less foliage than 
any other variety, and can 
be grown close together. 
The roots are smooth and 
regular in form; the skin is 
dark blood-red. Flesh fine 
grained and cooks dark 
blood-red. Remains in fine

SETBOIT DABX ZCSS 
Detroit Dark Red beet has long been re- 
garded as the standard of 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 
globular. It is fine-grained in texture and 
has a small top. It is free from side or 
fibrous roots, being always smooth. It is 
excellent for forcing; for a main spring and 
summer crop, or for use in winter, as it is a 
good keeper. It cooks sweet, tender and 
crisp, and is in every way a standard sort for 
the marlcet or home gardener. Has 
made a crood crop in seven weeks 
from sowing. See cut. Packet, 5 
cents; ounce, 12 cents; pound, 
35 cents; ^ pound, 65 cents; 
pound, $1.25, postpaid..
