BEET. 
"'SiT "Electric" flat Beet. 
The Ideal Table Beet, fine (trained, rich red flesh, exceedingly tender, remark¬ 
ably early. Combines more good qualities than any other round Beet. 
In the Electric we have more good qualities than wore ever before 
combined in one Beet. It is almost round, leaves small and compact, 
and sot very close to the centre; tap-root small, starting from the 
bulb without taper; indeed, it combines the maximum of edible bulb 
with the minimum of root and foliage. The color Is very dark crim¬ 
son, changing alternately Into rings of a lighter hue. The constancy 
of color largely enhances its value. It is extremely early, coming in 
with Extra Early Egyptian. But it is when prepared for the table 
that Its flno qualities become most apparent, the line rich color mak¬ 
ing it conspicuous. The flesh, of delicato texture, rich and sugary.

IMPROVED ARLINGTON. Of medium 
size and a dark rich blood-red color. One 
of the strongest points in favor of this 
variety is the fact that it does not get bit¬ 
ter and stringy when it is a little old, as is 
the case with many other varieties, but is 
sweet and tender at all times. Its grand 
quality, uniform shape and beautiful color 
leave nothing to be desired in this grand 
Beet. 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 25c. J4 lb., 60c. lb.
