Landreths’ Best Beet 
BEET 
Prices on Application 
LANDRETHS’ BEST. —The same date of maturity as Detroit. 
In shape and color very attractive; superior to Detroit. Root varying 
from oval to round, developing unusually early to the perfect form, 
and mouse-tailed. Flesh solid, deep dark red, but no rings, of excellent 
quality and sugary. Skin smooth and free from side fibres. In the 
Landreths’ Best we have what has long been looked for—an early 
oval-shaped root of intensely red color. These qualities have long 
been demanded by those looking for something superior. Landreths’ 
Best Beet will be found of great superiority by the Beet canning operator 
when the size is that of a silver dollar. At that early stage they are 
just perfect in every requirement, and for factory purposes they can be 
used to the greatest advantage when of that size. Try this variety 
and you will buy it the following year. 75c per lb. 
DETROIT. —Oval in form, flesh dark red, skin smooth, leaves 
small, erect. Excellent sort. Fine for canning. Before the introduction 
of the Landreth Best Beet the Detroit was the leading variety, but the 
Detroit now takes second place. A standard variety, not requiring a 
description to any experienced canner. 35c per lb. 
CROSBY’S IMPROVED EGYPTIAN. -A choice form of the 
Egyptian and consequently very desirable. Rounder in body than the 
Egyptian, almost as early and in leading demand for early processing 
at the canning factory. 35c per lb. 
Snow’s Prolific Pickle

SNOW’S PROLIFIC PICKLE. —In appearance of fruit a variation 
of the “Chicago Pickle,” but considerably longer in vine than the 
“Short Prolific,” which was given its name because of its exceedingly 
short vine. The fruit of the “Snow’s Prolific,” is more uniformly 
even in diameter from end to end, small, early, dark green, and both 
ends blunt. The “Snow’s Prolific” has a reputation of being more 
productive than any of its class. It also has a smaller v-shaped cavity 
in the centre than other strains of Pickle and therefore is not so spongy 
and in every way suitable for bottling, consequently, used to a very 
large extent by the best pickling houses. It is really a famous variety. 
40c per lb. 
SHORT PROLIFIC OR GREEN PROLIFIC PICKLE.— An all¬ 
green variety with black spines producing a small fruit suitable for 
pickling in 50 days after the sprouting of the seed. An abundant bearer 
highly recommended for Pickles for which it is used by many of the 
most famous pickling establishments. The vines are very short, seldom 
running over 30 inches from root—hence its name; admitting of planting 
in rows as close as three feet. In seeding this variety, do not drop the 
seed in hills, but sow in drills in continuous rows as in the case of Peas. 
Drill in about one seed to the inch, and when the plants are well es¬ 
tablished cut them out to three inches apart. 40c per lb. 
CHICAGO PICKLING AND BOSTON PICKLING are almost 
synonymous. The vines grow to a length of five feet from the hill; the 
fruit is longer than the Jersey Pickle, but does not hold its color so well.

JERSEY PICKLE. —An all-green, black-spine variety, used very 
extensively by those who prepare pickles commercially. It is pro¬ 
ductive and said “to green” better than any other variety and “to 
hold its color” better than any other variety. Vigorous crops will 
develop fruit of pickling size, 2 to 3 inches long, in 00 days. 40c per lb.
