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. II Exceedingly Tender. 

 Rich Red Flesh. 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 beau- 

 tiful manner, making it very 

 attractive in appearance. (See 

 cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 

 35c. I lb., $1.00 lb. 



"7 consider your new Crimson Globe 

 Beet an acquisition, and shall plant a 

 larger quantity next season. Besides 

 being fit for use early, and its other 

 good qualities, 1 find it an excellent 

 keeper." 

 THOS. GOLDRING, Bennington. Vt. 



" Your Crimson Globe Beets were the 

 best we ever had. We used from them 

 all summer, and pilled the balance for 

 winter. TT'e had some cooked for 

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

 as tender atid sweet as if freshly pulled." 



WM. P. WAKEMAN, Middletown,

HENDERSON'S EXTRA EARLY 



Electric ffij Beet. 



j 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 runs remarkably 

 uniform in shape and size, with 

 smooth dark red skin slender leaves, 

 closely set in the centre. 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 Beet perfection 

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

 Early Electric and Crimson Globe. The bulbs of Early Model — of good 

 size — run uniformly perfect, almost round, with small dark crimson colored 

 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, equalling that of the best long 

 beets. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. \ lb., $2.00 lb.
