BOLGIANO'S
EXTRA EARLY ECLIPSE BEET.
The remarkable
demand and the ever
increasing popular
ity of this beet
would compel us, if
we had not from
our own tests passed
judgment upon it, to
rank it among the
most valuable varie-
ties we have for
either market or
private gardens. It
was introduced from
Germany as a selec-
tion or hybrid from
the famous Egyp-
tian. It is remark-
able for its very
rapid growth, the perfection of its form — which is
globular— of its beautiful crimson flesh and for its
dwarf foliage. The roots are of a bright glossy red,
very fine grair -d and of a delicious flavor. Packet,
5c. Ounce, 1^. ± Pound 15c. i Pound, 20c.
1 Pound, 35c.
y/Lentz's Extra Biarly 151ood Turnip.— We
recommend it as containing all the valuable essen-
tials of an early beet. It is nearly as early as the
Egyptian, but larger and of better quality, of fine,
dark red color, tender and sweet at all times,
whether old or young. It has' a very small top, and
will produce a crop in six weeks from time of planting
the seed. It is very productive and a good keeper.
Always tender. Packet, 5c. Ounce, 10c. i Pound

I lall" Long 1 Blood Beet. — We recommend this
beet to be of great value. Its roots are of a pleasing
shape, its flesh is deep dark red and very tender and
sweet. As a fall and winter beet it has few equals. Its
keeping qualities are of the best. Packet, 5c. Ounce,
ioc. Y pound, 15c. Yz pound, 25c. Pound, 40c.
EDMAND'S BLOOD TURNIP BEET.
This is the most,
thoroughly fixed and
uniform in type. The
flesh is deep blood
red in color, and ex-
ceedingly sweet and
tender in quality. Tt
is round and smooth
in shape and of good
market size. It does
not grow over large,
where room is per-
mitted.as many kinc's
are apt to do, there-
fore needs not to be
thinned so much as
most varieties. It
grows a small top.
and but a sinerle tap
root, which fact com-
mends itself* to the
gardener's attention
who grows beets for
bunching purposes.

Mangel- Wurzel Beet for Cattle Food.
Four pounds to the acre.
Golden Tankard Yellow-Fleshed Mangel.
This distinct variety is a most important addition to
our list of roots for stock feeding, as it contains less
water and more sugar than any other Mangel. A
special feature is the rich, deep yellow color of the
flesh, nutricious and milk producing qualities. In
England, where it is considered indispensable for
dairy farming, large dairy farmers state that they are
not only able to obtain a higher price per gallon for
milk from cows fed on this Mangel, but also that the
cows are in much better condition. Packets, 5c. and
ioc. % pound, 15c. Pound, 25c. 5 pounds for $1.00.
Improved Sugar Beets for Making Sugar.
Is a very large-growing sort; used also for feeding
stock. Recommended as hardy and very productive,
yielding thirty-live to forty tons to the acre, and con-
taining a greater percentage of sugar. Packets, 5c.
and ioc. % pound, 15c. Pound, 30c. 5 pounds for

Giant 3Laiii» el-AVurzel. — The heaviest cropping
and best Long Mangel. This mammoth variety gr. .ws
to an immense size, single roots weighing from 20 to
30 pounds each, and always of very fine texture and
good quality. It is remarkable for the broad shoulder
and massive shape of the root by which a great weight
is obtained, without coarseness. Xp oull d, 15c. Pound,

Culture of Cattle Beets.— They should be sown from April
to June in drills 2 feet apart, and afterwards thinned out to
stand 1 foot apart in the rows. Keep well cultivated, and
you will have an abundant crop of roots for winter u^e.
F. W. Bolgiano & Co.— We have a very fine and
profitable garden, and ascribe the credit not only to
the good season and to our gardener, Mr. Maylors^but
also to your excellent seeds, which have given great
satisfaction.
