Nursery stock New York (State) Troy Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Agricultural implements Catalogs. »BBT, DIREGrO—This recent foreign introduction has proven to be the best early beet ever placed on American markets, and market gardeners who tested it last season pronounced it the best early beet. The Dirego has very little top slender stems, smooth skin, flattish round in shape like an orange, and has but one top root. The color of the flesh is rich dark crimson, with very faint lighter colored rings. The flesh is sweet and crisp, free from objection- able earthy flavor. This beet is earlier than Crosby's and far more regular in character. It is free from very coarse roots; especially adapted for frame work; for first variety it is Dirego Beet. Pkt. Sc.; oz. 10c. lb. lb. 50c. 1 unsurpassed. •'Detroit Dark Red Turnip Beet—The best deep red turnip beet, not only for market gard- eners, but for the home garden as well. It is not only of fine shape and excellent quality, but is exceedingly early. Pkt. Sc.; oz.; 10c.; % lb. 20c.; 1 lb. 70c. Egyptian Turnip—One of the old standard early varieties, of dark red color, flesh sweet, rather flat in shape.
