A well selected variety; regular in shape; deep blood skin, dark flesh of excellent quality. Small tap root and small top. Eclipse. A new beet from Germany; very regular, of globular shape. It has a small top, is of dark blood red color, sweet and fine grained flesh. It comes earlier than the Egyptian. I/ongf Red Mangel Wursel. This is raised for stock ; it grows to a large size. Here in the Sonth where stock is not sta- bled during the winter, the raising of root crops is much neglected. Being very profit- able for feeding it ought to be more culti- vated. Long Blood. It is not quite so tender as the foregoing variety, and therefore not White French Sugar Beet planted at all for the market, and very lit- tle for family use. In the North it is chiefly planted for winter use; here we have Turnip Beets the whole winter from the garden; therefore it has not the same value. Half I/Ong Blood. A very dark red variety of a half long shape; a good kind for family use. Egyptian Red Turnip. This is a well known variety, very early, tender, deep red and of Turnip shape. Leaves of this variety are smaller than the others. The seed^s ara also much smaller. We recommend it and consider it a good acquisition. The setd of this variety is obtained by us from the orig- inal source and is the finest stock offered. It increases in popularity every Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original J.
