Early Blood-Red Tur nip. The old stand-by and a universal favorite. Deep blood color. Good early and late. Per pkt. 5 cts. ; oz. 10 cts. ; ^ 5) 20 cts.; per Bb 50 cts. LONG SM O O T H BLOOD-RED. An ex- cellent late variety, both for table and cattle. The beets are long and smooth, the flpsh is a deep blood red, very sweet and tender. It can be planted earlier than the Turnip Beets, as it attains a large size and well resists the hot, dry weather of the sum- mer. To produce a large crop the seed should be sown not later than the middle of June. These beets keep well through- out the winter when carefully stored. Per pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; 34 S) 20 cts. ; per S) 45 cts. Early Yellow Turnip. Similar to the red turnip, ex- cept in color, which is bright yellow; of very sweet, fine flavor. Deserving of more general cultivation, as the yellow slices, mixed with the red beets, are attract- ive on the table. Per pkt. 5 cts. ; oz. 10 cts.; 3^ ft 25 cts. ; per ft 75 cents. SWISS CHARD or SILVER BEET. (Large- ribbed White Silver.) Sown early in the spring it makes a rapid growth of leaves, and is fit for use for greens sooner than any other variety. Later the leaves grow very large, with broad, flat, beautifully white, wax-like stems and mid-ribs, which may be cooked like Asparagus, or made into most attractive pickles. Per pkt. 5 cts. ; oz. 10 cts.; ft 20 cts. ; per ft 50 BASTIAN'S HALF-LONG BEET. MANGEL WURZELS AND
