JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA 
KOItD'H I'EUFKOTEO HAr.F-I.ONO BEET. 
KEW HF.TEOK BEET. 
FORD’S PERFECTED HALF-LONG 
Originated by James Ford, who is well known 
to most of our customers as the originator of the 
famous Ford’s Mammoth Podded Lima Bean. 
It has many distinctive points of great value. In 
size the roots are remarkably uniform. The color 
is a very deep red, several shades darker than the 
Bastian Half Long. It is also earlier, maturing a 
fow days after the Early Turnip varieties ; and as a 
fall and winter beet it has no equal, as none other 
can approach it in keeping qualities. Pkt., 6c.; oz., 
10e.; \ lb., 25e.; lb., 70c.; 6 lbs., $3.00. 
- ARLINGTON FAVORITE BEET 
A now dark-leaved early blood variety, origi¬ 
nated at Arlington, Mass., where it is grown ex¬ 
tensively for the Boston market. It follows the 
Eclipse closely in maturing, and differs from all 
other very dark blood sorts in that it has the 
sweetness of the Bassano. Pkt., 5c.: oz., 10c • 1 lb 
20c.; lb., 60c. ’ 1 
NEW METEOR BEET 
This valuable beet was introduced by us in 
1898 and has been one of the standard sorls ever 
since. It is of handsome shape, as depicted in the 
above photographic illustration, and is the result of 
years of intelligent selection by one of our most 
successful Philadelphia market gardeners. It is 
very early, closely followingourcelebrated Crosbv’s 
Egyptian. It is always smooth, uniform, with 
very small roots. Flesh is dark red, tender, fine 
grained, and remains so after many other sorts have 
become tough and woody. Price, pkt., 5c.; oz., 
10c.; i lb., 30c.; lb., 90c. ■
