“BEST BY EVERY TEST” 
BUIST’S PERFECT MODEL 
This new variety is an im' 
proved strain of our “Shull's 
Model Beet,” introduced by us 
in 1886, and by careful com' 
parison, has proven to be the best 
for Market Gardeners; its uni' 
formity in shape, medium size 
and deep red color makes it a 
very desirable market beet. The 
tops are small and its growth up' 
right; for bunching and shipping 
it has no equal. For the home' 
garden it is especially desirable 
on account of its exquisite quab 
ity, being very sweet and finely 
grained; is a good keeper and 
may be used all Winter; the deep, 
rich color makes it a very desir'
