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., 12c; lb., 35c; 14 lb., 
60c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 lbs., $4.35. 
WILL’S IMPROVED BLOOD TURNIP BEET. This is 
an exceptionally 
fine strain of 
Will’s Improved 
Blood Turnip 
Beets. 
Crosby’s Egyp¬ 
tian. The roots 
are somewhat 
flattened though 
globular, and the skin a very dark red in color. The flesh is 
of a slightly lighter shade and lightly zoned. The best first 
early Beet and a good keeper. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; 14 lb., 35c; 
14 lb., 60c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 lbs., $4.35. 
DETROIT DARK RED. The best main crop Beet. The roots 
are smooth, medium size, globe-shaped. The skin is a dark 
blood red and the flesh is a solid vermilion-red with no zon¬ 
ing. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; 14 lb., 35c; J4 lb., 60c; lb., $1.10, 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 lbs., $4.35. 
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. This is the hand¬ 
somest Beet when canned that we know. Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c; 
14 lb., 40c; 14 lb., 70c; 1 lb., $1.25, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
5 lbs., $5.60. 
LONG SMOOTH BLOOD. Best of the long garden Beets; 
drought resistant, a very good keeper and grows until late in 
the Fall. Excellent for sod planting. Pkt., 5c; oz., 11c; 
14 lb., 30c; 14 lb., 50c; lb., 90c, postpaid. 
ECLIPSE. A very early variety with round, bright red roots. 
The flesh is crimson with pinkish white zones, crisp and 
tender. Pkt., 5c; oz., 12c; 14 lb., 35c; 14 lb., 60c; lb., $1.10, 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 5 lbs., $4.35. 
Swiss Chard 
Beisskohl (Ger.) 
Detroit Dark Red Beet Bladbede (Scan.) 
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., 12 c; 
*4 lb., 35c; Vz lb., 60c; lb., $1.00, postpaid. 
You may be glad to know that I have been using your seeds 
for about 25 years and they were used by my grandparents. 
I have always had splendid success with them. I found them 
especially good in Montana while I lived there. They are 
still good on this western coast in spite of the difference in 
climate.
