Henderson^s 

 Half Long 



Beet 



Tender and of peerless quality. Vividly rich in color. 

 Unequalled for slicing. 



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 

 roughness. No more brilliant color can 

 be desired than is shown on slicing this 

 variety, while its extreme tenderness and 

 freedom from woody fibre or tough string 

 evidence its peerless quality. The top is 

 medium in size, of such very rich glossy 

 crimson color that it can be used in orna- 

 mental bedding. (See cut.) 10c. pkt.,
