For more than fifty years and until his death, 
our old friend, William Lanier, one of the oldest 
and best-known market gardeners near Philadel¬ 
phia, supplied the early and late markets with the 
handsomest and most salable beets that could be 
had, and Lanier’s Beets, as they were called, be¬ 
came much sought after by the best commission 
merchants of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. 
During all these years Mr. Lanier selected with a 
critical eye the most perfect beets from each crop 
for seed stock to plant for his own use. The pho- 
tograph gives an idea of its beautiful bell shape, 
between a turnip and a half-long beet. A strong, 
vigorous grower, producing marketable beets very 
^rly, of a dark carmine color and very tender.
