ABBOTT & COBB 
Philadelphia, Pa. 
Beet, New Early 
An extremely early variety maturing at the same time as the Early Flat Egyptian but 
positively globe-shaped, dark in color, with a small top. We have made this special strain of 
Beet ourselves, and know that it is giving the best of results after four years with the market 
gardeners. For those producing Beets under glass, we cannot recommend this too highly. 
The stock is true. We do not recommend it for summer use, unless there is irrigation, as 
the tops are apt to be too small in dry weather. You should include this in your next spring’s 
crop. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 141 b. 30 cts.; lb. $1; 10 lbs. $9
