NIP BEET. Will's Improved

ceptionally fine Beets * 
strain of Crosby’s Egyptian. The roots are somewhat flat¬ 
tened though globular, and the skin a very dark red in color. 
The flesh is of a slightly lighter shade and lightly zoned.

ing. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; 34 lb., 40c; 34 lb., 65c; lb., $1.10, 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 lbs., $4.85. 
OHIO CANNER. This deep blood red Beet is free from zoning, 
of fine even form, uniform in growth, tender, sweet, and free 
from stringiness. It is a few days later than our strain of 
Detroit Dark Red Beet, but holds its tenderness later in its 
growth than any other sort we have tried. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
17c; lb., 50c; 34 lb., 85c; lb., $1.50, postpaid. 
LONG SMOOTH BLOOD. Best of the long garden Beets;

the Fall. Excellent for sod planting. Pkt., 5c; oz., 13c; 34 
lb., 42c; 34 lb., 68c; lb., $1.15, postpaid. 
ECLIPSE. A very early variety with round, bright red roots.

tender. Pkt., 5c; oz., 13c; 34 lb., 42c; 3£ lb., 68c; lb., $1.15,

Swiss Chard 
Beisskohl (Ger.) 
„ . ~ „ . Bladbede (Scan.) 
Detroit Dark Red Beet 
LUCULLUS. To our 
mind the best vegetable that can be raised for greens. The 
outside leaves are picked off and the plant yields a constant 
crop from July well into September. The leaves are very large 
and picking a mess of Swiss Chard for greens is short work. 
In addition to its value for rich greens, the broad white stems 
and midribs may be cooked like asparagus or used for pickles. 
Swiss Chard gives big returns with little care. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; 
*4 lb., 35c; Vz lb., 60c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
CULTURE: Sow in drills 15 to 18 inches apart as early 
as the ground can be worked in the Spring. When the 
plants are large enough to handle, thin to four or -five 
inches apart in the row. One ounce of seed will sow fifty 
feet of drill; six pounds per acre. About 450 seeds in a 
packet. 
EARLY WONDER. This selection from Crosby’s Egyp¬ 
tian is not as early as the Will’s Improved. The roots 
are very uniform and more nearly globe-shaped with 
very small top and tap root, dark red skin with deep 
blood-red flesh and very little zoning. A very popular 
variety with market gardeners and unexcelled for the 
home garden. Pkt., 5c; oz., 13c; 34 lb., 42c; 34 lb., 
68c; lb., $1.15, postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 lbs., $5.10. 
Swiss Cliard, 
Lucullus. 
I wish to say that I like your seed fine. We are way up 
here near the Canadian border and last year in spite of heat, 
dry weather and grasshoppers we had an abundance of good 
garden stuff. One vegetable “Will’s Imp. Blood Turnip Beet’’ 
was especially good. We grew 40 bushels of beets from y 2 
pound of seed, besides what we used as greens, baby beet 
pickles, etc., through the summer.
