BEETS 
New Beet “Schell’s Miniature” 
Here is a most valuable new addition to the Beet family. Mark what I say,—it is 
going to go over big with every one of you who grow for market. And you who have 
your private garden for your family’s benefit, will be delighted with it because: First, 
its quality is superb; the flesh is very tender and absolutely free of any hardness or 
fibre; it is of exceptionally fine-grained texture; its flavor is distinctly rich; its flesh is 
very deep rich dark crimson, every bit of it, without the slightest sign of light zones. 
And, second, you will like it and want it because of its very small size, being only a 
little more than an inch in diameter, making it ideal for serving whole, either cooked 
or pickled. Pull and use, or sell them when they are this size—then they are at their 
best. Our supply of seed is very limited this year, therefore we are not offering it in 
any larger quantity than i pound, so that many can try it. 
Prices, pkt. 15 cts.; y 2 oz. 25 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; 2 ozs. 80 cts.; Vilb- $1.35; V^ib. 
$1.75; lb. $3. There are about 32,000 seeds in a pound, therefore a pound should make 
about s.ooo bunches of six like above that should sell at 5 cts. per bunch or $250. 
Schell’s “Lutz’s Green-Leaf 
WINTER TABLE BEET 
Introduced by us; originated here by the late Jacob Lutz, successful market-gardener. 
Always in great demand but for three years our seed-supply was not sufficient. 
This year we have plenty of seed and are glad to say the price is reduced from $2.75 per 
pound last year to Si.65 per pound this year. 
Lutz’s Green-Leaf is a very large Beet, 4 to 6 inches in diameter at the top, 
and tapers to a point, like a “top.” Its color is deepest dark red all the way through; 
the flesh is very tender and delicious at all times, and it may be used when quite 
small or medium size as well as when full grown. Ideal for storing for winter use 
and slicing. The green leaves may be cooked like spinach. Pkt. 10c.; 2 pkts. 15c.; 
oz. 25 cts.; 2 ozs. 40 cts.; V^b. 60 cts.; y 2 lb. 90 cts.; lb. $1.65; 5 lbs. $7.50. 
CAUTION! There is another Beet called Century Beet, similar in shape, but it 
cannot compare in quality, color, or size to Lutz’s Green-Leaf. This is being substi¬ 
tuted by some for Lutz’s Green-Leaf, therefore be careful! Get the genuine from 
Schell’s.
