SALZER'S ROYAL HALF LONG BEET.

SALZER'sloYAL HALF LONG BEET: Pkg., lOc; oz., 20c.; lb., 40c.; lb., «1.25. For many years we cultivated almost none but the round varieties of Beets, leaving the development ot the long varieties entirely to our European friends. The principal points of excellence in the long, as dis tinguished from the round varieties, are the vividly rich colors which characterize almost every variety^ and their peculiar adaptation for slicing. We have selected one which embodies all the good points o( these long varieties. Our illustration gives an idea of its shape and general appearance and grand color. The top is medium in size, very rich glossy crimson in color. The' latter is so effective that we have used it successfully in ornamental bedding. The bulb is. 3 inches m diameter at shoulder, tapering ii) pear-shaped form to the slender root. It grows one- half out of the ground and is entirely free from rough- ness. No more brilliant color can be desired than is shown on slicing this variety, while its extreme tender ness and freedom from woody fiber or tough string evidence its peerless quality. We bespeak for this variety general cultivation, be- cause we are sure that its quality, its shape, its yield will commend it to every one. It is indeed a profitable variety to grow, will fill a bushel quicker than any other early or medium variety of Beets, while its quality is everything that one can possibly wish. We know that our customers who will give this a trial will be fully pleased and delighted with the results. Price: Pkg., lOc; oz.. 20c.; 34 lb , 40c.; lb. 5 lbs. (sufficient for 1 acre). $5.00.
