Carters’ Perfection.— (See Photograph .) As the Beet family is very sensitive to 
cross fertilization, we start afresh from time to time, with stocks with “new blood.” We 
have done so quite recently with our Perfection Beet, which is really a perfect and refined 
root. The best long Beet in cultivation ; medium size, rich crimson lake colour, and 
splendid flavour ; foliage shining and dark. Pronounced by the Royal Horticultural 
Society to be “ perfection.” Nineteen First Prizes reported in 1903. 
In sealed packets, price is. per packet ; is. 6d. per ounce.

Ornamental Foliaged Beet. — An interesting species for decoration in tht flower garden. The thick 
fleshy ribs are beautifully coloured either yellow, crimson, cream, or white, and the contrast with the 
metallic leafage is very effective. 
Price is. and is. 6d. per packet. 
Croton-leaved Beet. — A decided acquisition to the group of decorative Beets, the long, narrow, 
crimson-bronze leaves having an elegant appearance. For the ribbon border, or as a pot plant for table 
decoration, it is effective. The roots are edible. 
In sealed packets, is. and is. 6d. per packet. 
gQakgilQ Beet. — An improved type of a delicious vegetable, in reality a Beet in which, cultivation has 
developed the leaves instead of the root. It is sown at the same season as Beetroot in April, in rows about 
18 inches apart and the plants thinned out to 15 inches apart. At the end of summer they may be luted as 
required, the green portion of the leaves cut off and the fleshy stems boiled and served at table with sauce, like 
Seakale. The wonder is that such a dainty dish should have been permitted to almost drop out of cultivation. 
Price, is. per ounce.
