ALLEN’S SELECT. Several years ago we noticed in a bed of Crosby’s Egyp- 
tian, a Beet that grew faster and larger, and matured earlier than the rest. After careful 
testing we became convinced that this Beet is not only of commercial value, but deserves 
trial by all lovers of Beets. It is globular, dark red, fine flavored and a good keeper. 
Ripens early, excellent for greens. We have 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. Our 
seed is fresh and will satisfy. 
DETROIT DARK RED. Small tops, can be placed close. Very sweet, fine 
flavor for table use. 
ECLIPSE. Early and smooth, roundish, good quality. Can’t be beat. 
OHIO CANNER. This Beet has been developed to meet the exacting demands 
of the canner for a smooth, perfectly formed Beet with deep colored flesh. It is the 
result of the inbreeding of many generations of Beets by the Ohio Agricultural Experi- 
ment 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. Commercial growers will find here a splendid paying sort. It is also a splendid 
variety for the home garden. 
Sugar Beets 
KLEIN WANZLEBEN. The most cultivated and probably the best heavy 
yielder, %4 0z., 5c; 1 oz., 18c; % lb., 40; 1 Ib., $1.40.

Price on all Cabbage 1/6 oz., 10c; 1 oz., 40c; %4 Ib., $1.25; 1 Ib., $4.00. «@

Wakefield for earliness; light green leaves and remarkably solid head that will mature 
about the same time. Just what market gardeners are after.

strain of Ballhead, representing many years of careful breeding by the Pennsylvania

our customers in paying the higher price asked for it.
