CARTERS DAINTY BEET. 
Carters Dainty. — This is a small growing variety of more than ordinary merit, having long slender rods 
of a splendid deep crimson colour, and of the finest flavour possible : in naming it Dainty , we wish to 
convey the extremely refined quality of this variety; it does not attain to the size of our Perfection [seepage 13). 
Price is. per packet. 
Ornamental Foliaged Beet.— An interesting species for decoration in the flower garden. The 
thick fleshy ribs are beautifully coloured either yellow, crimson, cream, or white, and the contrast with the 
shining green leafage is very effective. 
Price 6d and is. 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. 
Price 6d. and is. per packet. 
Seakale Beet.— An improved type of a delicious vegetable, in reality a Beet in which cultivation has 
developed the leaves instead of ihe 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 lifted as required, the green portion of the leaves cut off and the fleshy stems boiled and served with 
sauce, like Seakale.
