Eclipse Beet. This new beet heads the list of extra early sorts. It is as early as the well-known Egyptian, is of better shape, and for quality it has no equal among the early sorts. It has small tops, and bright, glossy, scarlet bottoms. Our friends can buy the Eclipse, feeling sure it will please them. The seed we offer is carefully grown in this country, and is superior to the imported seed sold by most seedsmen. Prices : by mail, post-paid—lb., 60 cts.; 1-4 lb., 20 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; pkt., 5 cts> Edmand's Early Beet. This is one of the most shapely kinds, and its rich, waxy, bronze red skin makes it very handsome. There is no more popular kind in the market than this. It is of superior quality, very early, and altogether one of the very best kinds. It grows to a fine uniform size, is very round, with small tops, and its flesh is as dark red as its skin. It is unusually sweet, tender, and good. Prices: by mail, post-paid—lb., 60 cts.; 1-4 lb., 20 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; pkt., 5 cts. Extra Early Egyptian Beet.
