. DeJong Floral and Seed Co. Nurseries (Horticulture) Iowa Catalogs; Nursery stock Iowa Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Iowa Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Iowa Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Iowa Catalogs; Grasses Seeds Iowa Catalogs; Gardening Iowa Equipment and supplies Catalogs. New Beet The Fireball Mr. Vaughan, the introducer, says: This new beet is perfectly globe shaped, extra early in season and earlier than Crosby's. The skin is smooth, the flesh is solid with a very sweet flavor, and of a bright intense red color. The top root is tiny and the leaf stalks are quite small, making it valuable for early and late sowing in frames. It is also very desirable in the open ground where it retains its fresh table qualities better than most beets. In home gardens it is ab- solutely without a superior. We believe this variety will prove one of the most popular beets introduced in years. Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz 15 cts., 1^ lb. 35 cts., lb. $ CRIMSON GLOBE BEET This is a most valuable introduc- tion. It is a very early variety, skin smooth and it is as handsome a beet as you can find. The root is not large, averaging about 3 inches in diameter. The leaves are quite small with slender stems. There is no va- riety where richness of color in both top and roots is so beautifully com- bined as in this sort. Color of flesh rich deep red shading to purple, is fine grained. Judges appear to be unanimous as to its excellent quality and as a superior market beet. Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., % lb. 35 cts., lb. $ Improved Danish Ball Head.
