 lie TURNIP 



Beet. 



An Ideal Table Beet, fine-grained, rich red 

 flesh, exceedingly tender, remarkably early. 



The Electric is the finest Extra 

 Early Beet grown, coming in with 

 the small, flat Egyptian, but Elec- 

 tric is much larger and of almost 

 globular form. It is uniform in 

 shape and size, with smooth dark red 

 skin. The leaves are small and grow 

 compactly on the root. The flesh 

 is fine grained and tender, and of 

 delicious flavor; color, rich red, 

 ringed with dark crimson. The 

 roots remain in fine condition a long 

 time after maturity. We highly 

 recommend our Electric as the best 

 extra early table Beet. (See cut.)

New EARLY MODEL Beet. 



This splendid variety — of English origin — has attained perfection 

 for table use. It is a medium early variety, coming in between Extra 

 Early Electric and Crimson Globe. "The roots of Early Model are of good 

 size and run uniformly perfect, almost round, with small dark crimson-col- 

 ored leaves, and a slim tap-root. In quality and color it is peerless; very 

 fine grained, tender and sweet, never woody or stringy. Color of both 

 skin and flesh deep rich blood-crimson, equaling that of the best long 

 beets. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. }i lb., $1.25 lb. 



" 7 may say that my Model Beets from your seed are praised by all who see them; lender,

HENDERSON'S 



CRIMSON GLOBE BEET. 



A Grand Second Early and Main Crop Variety. 



It is just the Beet you want for the table. Beautiful Form. 

 Rich Red Flesh. Exceedingly Tender. Deliciously Sweet. 



This splendid variety has now been grown quite extensively in many 

 sections of the country and the many good reports received from our cus- 

 tomers indicate that it gives most thorough satisfaction. The root is of 

 medium size, generally about three inches in diameter, very handsome in 

 shape, being a little deeper than round, with a remarkably smooth surface. 

 It has a very small tap-root. The very dark leaves are small and borne on 

 slender stems which occupy but a small portion of the root, but it is the 

 exquisite tenderness of the flesh and the complete absence of any stringy or 



woody character that so thor- 

 oughly distinguish this beet. 

 The interior color is very deep 

 crimson throughout, but is 

 ringed or zoned in a most 

 beautiful manner, making it 

 very attractive in appearance.

"Your Crimson Globe Beet is a very 

 pure strain. I grew about two tons, all 

 of them beauties. They are a fine table 

 beet." HENRY GREFFRATH, 



South Lima, N. Y. 



" Your Crimson Globe Beets were the 

 i^best we ever had. We used from them 

 all summer, and pitted the balance for 

 ■winter. We had some cooked for 

 dinner to-day (March 3d) and they were 

 as tender and sweet as if freshly pulled "
