COLUMBIA BEET—The handsome appearance of this distinct new beet is well represented in the illustration herewith. The roots are of a neat turnip shape, with smooth skin and deep blood-red flesh of rich tender quality. It is ready to use very early, growing as quickly as does the Egyptian, while it does not become course and stringy, as does that variety when of large size. Compared with such famous sorts as the Edmund and Eclipse, the Columbia has proved earlier than either, and even better in quality than these two really first-class varieties. In habit of growth it is remarkably thoroughbred, the foliage being small, neat and of a rich bronze color. We are sure that market gardeners will find it a splendid variety, while its fine flavor as a table beet will delight all private planters. RUST PROOF GOLDEN WAX BEAN.
