Extra Early Egyptian Beet 



First in Flavor, First in Color 



First on the Table in Early Summer 



An exceedingly early variety and considered by many to be the 

 best of the early garden beets. When sown in the open ground in 

 favorable weather, the roots may be pulled for table use in June, 

 at which time they are as big as a small apple and their flavor is at 

 its best. The root is rounded and flattened, especially under- 

 neath; grows almost entirely out of the ground, to which it is \ 

 held by a slender tap-root. The skin is very smooth ; violet-red in \ 

 color; flesh of a dark blood color; leaves brownish-red, more or less 

 mixed with green. Every garden should contain a few rows of this \ 

 first early beet, an additional advantage of which is that the roots may 

 be grown very close together. (See colored illustration.) Price, 5c 

 pkt., 20c. oz.,*60c. i 4 lb., $2.25 lb. 



Henderson's Crimson Globe Beet 



A Grand Second Early and Main Crop Variety 



Crimson Globe Beet. This variety has become remarkably popular among 

 gardeners in all sections of the country, and needs no recommendation to those 

 who have grown it. It is of medium size, generally about 3 inches in diameter, 

 very handsome in shape, a little deeper than round, with a smooth, even surface. 

 The leaves are rich crimson in color, borne on slender stems, which grow quite 

 compactly, and are thus easily removed. The flesh is deep crimson, ringed and 

 zoned in varying shades. It is exquisitely tender, and delicious in flavor. 

 Though it grows quickly enough for very early use, it will remain tender for a very 

 long period. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 85c. }i lb., $3.00 lb. 



"Henderson's Crimson Globe Beets have been thoroughly tested by us, and continue to give 

 satisfaction to ourselves and our ?nany customers." W. L. T HALES,

Henderson's Electric Beet 



Extra Early. An Ideal Table Beet, Rich Red Flesh 



Electric Beet is the best extra early variety grown, quite as early as any, perfect 

 in form, and of medium size. The leaves are quite small and grow so compactly 

 that they may be removed without marring the symmetry of the roots, so that 

 they present an extremely attractive appearance on the table. The quality is 

 excellent, tender, sweet and quite free from tough fibre. The color is most 

 attractive, and its quick growing habit makes it particularly desirable for the 



private garden. (See colored illustration.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 85c. H It)

W. SAMUEL & SONS, 

 R. D. No. 1, Etlrick, Va 



The largest of the very early 

 sorts. It is very quick to attain 

 size. The shape is a little flat, but 

 very uniform. The tops are small, 

 and the whole plant grows easily and 

 quickly. The flesh is somewhat lighter in 

 color than usual, but is very attractive. It 

 is an excellent variety for early use. Price

vicinity) for a crop: to store for winter. The flesh is solid,
