Allen’s Select. Several years ago we 
noticed in a bed of Crosby’s Egyptian, 
a beet that grew faster and larger, and 
matured earlier than the rest. After 
carefully testing and saving the seed, 
we became convinced that this beet is 
not only of commercial value, but de¬ 
serves trial by all lovers of beets. It 
is globular in shape, dark red color, 
fine flavored and a good keeper. Rip¬ 
ens early, excellent for greens. We 
can spare only a limited quantity of 
this seed. 
Crimson Globe. From England and 
still one of the best globe-shaped 
beets. Can be marketed early. 
Crosby’s Egyptian Improved. A 
quick grower, best quality, good for 
forcing in- or out-of-doors. Roundish, 
well-colored, a favorite with market 
gardeners in this section. Our seed is 
fresh and will satisfy.

be placed close. Very sweet, fine for

It is the result of the inbreeding of many generations of beets by the Ohio 
Agricultural Experiment Station. The tops are small and dark colored. The 
roots are uniformly round in shape with a small tap root. Flesh is intense 
deep blood-red without any trace of light zones. Commei*cial growers will find 
here a splendid paying sort. It is also a splendid variety for the home garden.

pods, 8 inches long, of a beautiful transparent golden color. Will grow 8 feet high

tinue to set a large crop until frost. Should be

faction. Everyone who saw this bean last year 
was immensely pleased.

abundantly, with 3 to 5 large, meaty beans to

of the very best. *4 lb., 10c; % lb., 20c; 1 lb., 
30c; 10 lbs., $2.50.

duce pods at the foot of the pole, and the bearing 
season continues until frost. Pods are large and 
well filled with beans of mammoth size. *4 lb., 
10c; y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50. 
Sugar Beets 
Our Sugar Beet Seed is grown by an expert in the heart of the sugar beet 
district of Michigan and we feel that no one can place a finer or fresher' article, 
for near this price, on the market. He grows beets for the sugar factory himself 
and knows the necessity of good, pure seed.
