Mrs. JoHN BILLMAN, Penn- 
sylvania, says they are wonderful! 
She writes: ‘‘I tried your Beets last 
year—Harrisburg Market and Black 
Knight—and they certainly are 
wonderful, the best J ever ate, and 
they are delicious canned, sweet or 
sour, and retain their deep rich 
color. They just cannot be beat.”

Schell’s 
Miniature Beet 




«6 id rT ad Introduced by us. It has received 
Schell $s Miniature Beet. the highest praise from all the thou- 
sands of our customers who have grown it. Its quality is superb; the flesh is very 
tender and absolutely free of any hardness or fibre; it is of exceptionally fine- 
grained texture; its flavor is distinctly rich; its flesh is very deep rich dark crim-

it and want it because of its very small size, being only a little more than an

have them a trifle larger (14% to 2 inches) they are excellent this size also. Just 
what is most desired in this type of small table Beet. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.;
