BEET. 



HENDERSON'S 

 HALF LONG 



Tender and of peerless quality. Vividly rich in color 

 Unequaled for slicing. 



The principal points of excellence in 

 Henderson's Half Long Beet are the viv- 

 idly rich blood-color which characterizes 

 it, and peculiar adaptation for slicing. 

 The top is medium in size, of such very 

 rich glossy crimson color that it can be 

 used in ornamental bedding. The bulb is 

 three inches in diameter at shoulder, 

 tapering in pear-shaped form to the 

 slender root. It grows partly out of the 

 ground and is entirely free from rough- 

 ness. No more brilliant color can be de- 

 sired than is shown on slicing this variety, 

 while its extreme tenderness and freedom 

 from woody fibre or tough string evi- 

 dence its peerless quality. (See cut.)

DALKEITH. It is astonishing how much 

 more extensively Brussels Sprouts are 

 grown and used in recent years than in the 

 past. Amateurs are finding out that this de- 

 licious vegetable can be as easily grown as 

 cabbage. This variety is a great improve- 

 ment on the old tall-growing sort ; it is 

 much more dwarf and compact, and pro- 

 duces "sprouts " of larger size. (See cut.)
