The principal points of excellence z Z Zi 
which characterize long beets are : =e E Z 
vividly rich coloring and peculiar 
adaptation for slicing. _Henderson’s ‘‘Half Long” embodies all the 
good points of these long varieties. Its shape and general appear- 
ance and grand color are unapproachable. The top is medium 
in size and of a very rich glossy crimson, and is so effect- 
ive that we have used it successfully in ornamental 
bedding. The bulb is three inches in diameter at 
shoulder, tapering in pear-shaped form to the 
slender root, and is entirely free from 
roughness. No more brilliant 
color can be desired than is 
shown on slicing this vari- 
ety. It is extremely tender 
and free from woody fibre 
or tough stringiness, and of 
peerless quality. (See cut.)

Combines more good qualities 
than any other round variety. 
Rich red flesh. 
Exceedingly tender. 
Remarkably early. 
In the Electric we have 
secured more good qual- 
ities than were ever 
combined in any one 
variety before. In 
shape it is almost 
round. The leaves 
are small and com- 
pact and set very 
close to the centre 
of the bulb. The tap- 
root also is small, starting 
clear from the bulb without taper ; 
indeed, it combines to a greater degree 
than any variety we know the maximum 
of edible bulb with the minimum of root and 
foliage. The color is crimson, the prevailing shade 
being very dark, changing alternately into rings of a 
lighter hue. The constancy of color in every bulb largely 
enhances its value. Itis extremely early, coming in with Extra 
Early Egyptian. But it is when prepared for the table that its fine 
qualities become most apparent, the fine, rich color making it conspicuous. 
The flesh, of delicate texture, is rich, sugary and entirely free from fibre. We 
are confident that it will secure a permanent place in every garden where tried.

HENDERSON’S 
“NEW YORK MARKET” CARROT 
A bountiful yielder. Beautiful symmetrical shape. Tender and sweet. 
Nearly every Carrot possesses one or more good features in a greater or lesser degree 
than another, but in Henderson’s New York Market there are more good points than 
in any other existing sort. It bearsa general resemblance in form to Half Long Danvers, 
the chief differences showing in the shoulder and base of root, the former being more 
gently rounded, the latter tapering more suddenly. The color is bright orange and 
most attractive. 
One of the evils to avoid in a Carrot is a hard, woody ‘‘core.” In New York Market 
we have the minimum of core, and what there is is so tender that the only evidence of 
its presence is a difference in color, the entire carrot being crisp, tender and sweet 
throughout. It is one of the heaviest cropping varieties in existence, and from its sym- 
metrical shape and general appearance we are sure it will be found an admirable variety 
to bunch for market, as well as being unexcelled for private use. Price, 15c. per pkt., 
25c. per oz., 75c. per 14 1b., $2.50 per lb.
