ELLIPSE.- This is one of the best table beets, 
and it is indeed high praise to say that the Eclipse 
beet is almost or quite as early as the Egyptian, 
as the latter has always been accepted as the 
earliest of all. The Eclipse has always been re¬ 
cognized as superior to the Egyptian in table value, 
it is smooth, with small tops, fine grain and tender, 
bright red in color. Many market gardeners have 
discarded the Egyptian entirely in favor of the 
Eclipse. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 10c.: 1-4 lb. 20c.; lb. 50c. 
IMPROVED LONG DARK RED This is 
one of the best long red turnip beets on the mar¬ 
ket, being of unexcelled quality for the table and 
live stock. It yields very heavily. The color is 
rich carmine, and the quality is sweet and tender. 
In rich ground it may be grown to advantage in 
July or August as a second crop and will not be 
injured by the October frost, and will produce an 
abundance of first class roots for winter. We do not 
believe there is another beet of this class that will 
equal it. Pkt. 5-c. ; oz. 10c. ; 1-4 lb. 20c.; lb. 50c. 
GIANT LONG RED MANGEL WURTZELS. 
—A wonderfully productive variety of superior qual¬

food for winter feeding it is excellent. Pkt. 5c.; 
oz. 10c.; 1-4 lb. 15c. ; lb. 40c. 
CHAMPION YELLOW GLOBE.— This is one 
of the finest of the yellow mangles, specimens have
