Crosby Extra Early.—A very superior strain of blood-red Egyptian, carefully selected for years by Mr. Crosby, a noted market gardener, whose aim was to secure a perfect forcing variety. The results ob- tained were handsome form, good size, few small tops, very small tap root, fine quality, and above all, quick, rapid growth. The shape is very desirable, not quite so fiat as the ordinary Egyptian, nor so round as the Eclipse. Best shape for packing and shipping. Takes on its turnip shape and looks well even in the early stages of its growth, on which account it is preferred. This is a decided advantage to those who force for real early market, and es- pecially for a market where beets are sold in bunches. Once used it is preferred to all others for forcing in frames or for first sowing outside—Pack- ets, 5 and 10c. £ Pound, 15c. £ Pound, 25c. Pound,.50c. Extra Early Flat Egyptian.—A famous variety for either market or private gardens; is from ten to twelve days earlier than the old blood turnip. The roots are large in size and of a rich, deep crimson color. From the smallness of the tops of the Egyptian at least one-fourth more can be grown on the same space than any other variety— Packets 5c. and 10c. £ Pound, 15c. £ Pound, 20c. 1 Pound, 30c. Early Market Beet.—This is very early, and makes a large, marketable beet sooner than many other sorts begin to bulb. When cut it has a beautiful red color, which makes it attractive'at the table. It is very shapely in form, good size for market pur- poses, and retains all its tenderness. It pleases everybody, sells well everywhere, hence continually grows more and more in favor—Packet, 5c. Ounce, 10c. £ Pound, 15c. £ Pound, 25c. Pound, 40c. Bolgiano's Early Blood Red Turnip Beet.—Handsome in sha
