Carters’ “Extra Early” 
New Crimson Ball Beet. 
(See Illustration). 
This new variety is a great acquisition to our list of Turnip 
Beets. It is as early as Egyptian, and much more desirable, owing 
to its globe shape, great smoothness and regularity, having a firm 
small top, very sweet , flesh fine , and dark blood colour. It is 
valuable alike for private gardens and for market gardeners, on 
account of its extreme earliness, as well as its numerous other good 
qualities. 
Garters crimson Ban Beet is a very fine variety of good colour and form ” 
Mr. E. WILSON, Head Gardener to The Most Noble 
The Marquis of HARTINGTON 
“Carters’ Crimson Ball Beet is splendid for early use, and highly esteemed 
by the cook."— Mr. G. HARRIS, Head Gardener to His Grace 
„„ „ Th e Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND. 
Carters Crimson Ball Beet is a handsome Turnip-rooted kind and one I 
should wish to see in all collections of vegetables."— Mr. A T OXFORD 
Head Gardener to The Right Hon. Lord STANLEY of Alderlev ’ 
‘ I should like to direct attention to Carters' Crimson Ball as an early Beet of 
great value. It turns in quickly, and the roots are bright in colour and delicate 
III flavour. Sown in April, the roots are fit for use at the end of June, and enable 
the cultivator to bridge over a season of scarcity.’’— W. COLEMAN Eastnor 
Castle, Ledbury, in the “ Gardeners' Magazine," August 17th,’ 1887.
