“BEST POSSIBLE” SEEDS. 
CHAS. C. HART SEED CO. —13— WETHERSFIELD, CONN. 
Crosby’s — Where a first early Beet is desired our strain of 
Crosby’s is unequalled. The roots are a slightly flattened 
globe-shape and the flesh is a trifle lighter in color than the 
Early Wonder and rather slightly zoned. This is sometimes 
called Crosby’s Bright Red and the Early Wonder Crosby’s 
Dark Red. 
Early Blood Turnip — An extra-fine selected stock of Blood 
Beet, having larger, coarser tops than the Detroit and re¬ 
quiring a longer time to mature. The roots are a dark red and 
nearly round or slightly flattened. Flesh is deep red, slightly 
zoned and extremely sweet and tender. An excellent market 
and home gardeners sort. 
Long Smooth Blood — A long late variety of high table quality 
which keeps well through the winter. The roots are about ten 
inches long, smooth and slender and are a very dark purple, 
almost black in color. The flesh is dark red, tender and sweet 
and is an excellent sort for pickles. 
Early Flat Egyptian — Extra early sort, roots distinctly flat¬ 
tened, the flesh a dark purplish red, zoned to a lighter shade. 
The Mangel Wurzel, also called Cattle or Field Beet, may be grown in 
almost any soil, but deep loams are recommended for heavy yields of the 
long varieties. Plant early in the spring in drills 2 to 23^ feet apart, and about 
one inch apart in the row, pressing the soil down firmly above the seed. When 
firmly set thin to three inches and continue until the roots are about ten inches 
apart. They are absolutely unequaled as a food for stock during the winter 
months; they keep the stock in condition and encourage the steady flow 
of milk. 
Giant Long Red — Produces the largest yield of any kind of Mangel. The 
quality of the roots for feeding is very high, and they are excellent winter 
keepers. We recommend this variety to the dairy farmer.

some and very productive strain, skin below 
ground rose-colored, top grey or bronze, excellent
