272 Crosby’s Egyptian 
“Extra Selected Strain” 
The name of this variety is misleading, as it re¬ 
sembles the Egyptian only in its extreme earliness. 
Tops small. The roots are nearly round, or slightly 
flattened, and very smooth. Exterior color of root 
bright red. Flesh bright vermilion-red, zoned with a 
lighter shade; very sweet, tender and of excellent 
quality. One of the best for early planting outdoors. 
It becomes fit for use sooner than any other variety, 
but it is not as well suited as the Egyptian for forcing 
in hotbeds or for transplanting. Our stock is excep¬ 
tionally uniform in shape and color. Packet, 8 cts.; 
oz., 15 cts.; i/ 4 lb., 35 cts.; y 2 lb., 60 cts.; lb., $1.10; 
2 lbs., $2.10, postpaid. 
271 Crimson Globe 
Excellent Table and Market Beet 
Of fine shape, very small tap-root, deep crimson 
flesh of fine grain, surprisingly sweet flavor and 
unsurpassed quality. The foliage is small—leaves all 
grow from a very small crown in the top of the 
bulb. The beets are entirely free 
from fibrous rootlets, having only a 
slender tap-root. This 
beet is extensively plant¬ 
ed for second early and 
main crop purposes, it is 
a splendid mid-season va¬ 
riety. Does well here and 
in the South. No up-to- 
date grower can afford 
to be without this ex¬ 
cellent sort. Packet, 7 
cts.; ounce, 14 cts.; y 4 
lb., 30c; i/ 2 lb., 55c; lb., 
$1.00; 2 lbs., $1,90, post¬

Main Cropper 
Detroit Dark Red beet has long- 
been regarded as the standard of 
excellence. It is very early, nearly 
as early as Egyptian, and greatly 
passes that variety in flavor. The 
color is rich, dark red, and the 
shape is globular. It is fine-grained 
in texture and has a small top. It 
is free from side or fibrous roots, 
being always smooth. It is excel¬ 
lent for forcing; for a main spring 
and summer crop, or for use in win¬ 
ter, as it is a good keeper. It cooks 
sweet, tender and crisp, 
and is in every way a 
standard sort for the mar¬ 
ket or home gardener. 
Has made a good crop in 
seven weeks from sowing.

Excellent for the open gar¬ 
den. This is particularly val¬ 
uable for forcing because it

in form; the skin is dark 
blood-red. Flesh fine grained 
and cooks dark blood-red. Re¬ 
mains in fine condition for a 
long time. Packet, 7 cts.;
