Edmond's Early Blood Turnip Beet. A well selected variety; regular in shape; de-p blood skin, dark flesh of excellent quality. Small tap root and small top. Long Blood. It is not quite so tender as the foregoing variety, and therefore not planted at all for the market, and very little 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 Tu-nip shape. Leaves of this variety are smaller than of others. The seeds are also much smaller. We recom- mend it and consider it a good acquisition.

An im- provement on the foregoing sort; being of more uniform shape and color. Recom- mend same highly; it will take the place of the old variety for market purposes. Eclipse. A new beet from Germany, very regular, of globular shape. It has a White French Sugar Beet, small top, is of dark red blood color, sweet and fine grained flesh. It comes earlier than the Egyptian. I/ong Red Mangel Wursel. This is raised for stock; it grows to a large size. Here in the South 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. White French Sugar is used the same as the foregoing; not much planted. Silver Beet or Swiss Ch
