-HENDERSON'S- 



EXTRA EARLY ELECTRIC BEET. 



With the utmost confidence we urge the use of Electric for earliest 

 crops. It is not only early, but superior in every respect. The 



short, slender tops grow so erect, that it takes less room than any 

 other sort. It is rapidly becoming popular for growing under glass. 

 Large areas are sown in frames very early in spring, and the frames 

 removed to mature the crop. The roots are round, smooth, clean 

 and of fine color. It makes a perfect bunching variety and the 

 quality is excellent. Price, 20c. oz., 60c. H lb., $2.00 lb. 



LONG SMOOTH BLOODIED BEET. 



An Excellent Late Variety 



This is the darkest colored variety of Beet known, both the root 

 and the leaves being an intense dark red color. It is a great im- 

 provement on the common Long Blood, and is a very desirable 

 variety for winter storage. At all stages of its growth it will be 

 found excellent in flavor and very tender. 



As these long-rooted beets are rather slow in maturing, the last 

 sowing made should be about July 4th. • 



Price, 15 oz., 40c. H lb., $1.25 lb. 



EDMAND'S BLOOD TURNIP BEET. 



A handsome, uniform, round, Turnip-shaped Beet, very smooth 

 and of good size; tops small, flesh red and of excellent quality; Fine 

 for canning. This variety should be sown for a late crop.

DETROIT DARK RED BEET. 



We have an excellent selection of this well known variety, which 

 has become so popular among market gardeners. 



Its great value lies in its remarkable uniformity in size and color, 

 which shows to great advantage when marketed in the basket. 

 It is sometimes used for bunching, but sells best when used as a 

 basket beet. It is one of the best for fall crop, or to store for the 

 winter market. 



The outer color is dark, the roots are smooth, and very uniform 

 in shape. The flesh is blood red and of excellent quality. The 

 tops are medium in size, rather dark in color, and the whole plant
