Ib. 35 cts.; 10 lbs. $2.25; 100 lbs. $20.

stock of this variety. The roots are dark red, very smooth and 
uniform in shape, running a trifle longer than most stocks of 
this variety. The quality of this Beet is also very fine, retaining 
its tenderness longer than most varieties. Tops are rather 
heavy, making a fine, robust appearance while growing. This 
Beet is grown principally in and around Philadelphia County 
for winter or storage purposes.

EARLY LENTZ. One of the very best early Beets we know. Grown and

quality excellent; top rather heavy. Pkt. 10 cts.; 0z. 15 cts.; 14lb. 35 cts.; 
Ib. $1.10; 10 lbs. $10.
