Crosby’s Egyptian Beet 
Many of the best seed houses in the United 
States list this favorite beet of the market 
and home garden, but we doubt if ever there 
was a finer lot of seed than we have secured in 
our stock for this season. Thousands of 
growers will say, “ Crosby’s Egyptian is the 
only beet worth planting.” We will concede 
that it is at the top of the list and worth this 
extra space to bring it to the attention of 
those of our customers who have not made 
its acquaintance. 
Medium sized, small topped, very early 
to mature, smooth, sweet and tender, and of 
a deep crimson color, it fills the demands 
of the most critical. Include it in your order. 
Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., j lb. 30 cts., lb. $1.00. 
ASPARAGUS OR YARD LONG BEAN 
EGYPTIAN BEET 
Asparagus Bean 
Interesting and popular among those who raise 
it, this bean is still a novelty to many gardeners. 
Some might imagine a bean pod twenty to thirty 
inches long of no value as human food, but it is 
a fact that no more tender or finer flavored 
bean ever went into the pod. Every housewife 
will appreciate the entire absence of strings in 
the Asparagus Bean, and while it is not recom¬ 
mended for the market on account of its awk¬ 
ward size and odd appearance it should be grown 
in every home garden for its excellence as a 
green bean. Pkt. 25 cts.
