The largest of the very early sorts. It is very quickj 

 to attain size. The shape is a little flat, but very uni- 

 form. The tops are small, and the whole plant grows 

 easily and quickly. The flesh is somewhat lighter in 

 color than usual, but it is very attractive. It is an excel- 

 lent variety for early use. (See engraving.) Price, 10c.

Extra Early JE 



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 at- 

 tractive, and its quick growing habit makes it 

 particularly desirable for the private garden. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.40. \i lb., $5.00 lb.

Exceedingly popular, and one of the best early varieties; of

This splendid variety is of English origin and 

 is perfect for table use. It is medium early, 

 coming in between Extra Early Electric and Crimson Globe. The 

 roots are of good size, slightly oval, with small, dark crimson 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 crimson, equalling that of the best 

 long beets. Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.40 % lb., $5.00 lb. 



Probably the best of the larger sorts. It succeeds equally 

 well at all seasons, and is one of the best to sow in early spring, 

 to succeed the extra early and medium crop sorts. It may be 

 sown about August 1st (in this vicinity) for a crop to store for 

 winter. The flesh is solid, always tender, of good flavor and 

 excellent color. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., 

 $1.20. \i lb., $4.00 lb. 



A Grand Second Early and Main Crop Variety 



This variety has met with great favor and is remarkably 

 popular among gardeners in all sections of the country. It 

 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., 35c. 



oz., $1.20. H lb., $4.00 lb. 

 "Henderson's Crimson Globe Beets have been thoroughly tested by us, 



and continue to give satisfaction to ourselves and our many customers."
