HENDERSON'S SELECTION OF 



GARDEN BEETS 



FOR MARRET GARDENERS 



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 of good color and of excellent quality. The 

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

 quite vigorous. {See engraving.) Price, 15c. oz., 45c. J lb., $1.50 !b. 



CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN BEET. 



One of the best for the first open ground crop. The tops are 

 medium in size, the root round and slightly flattened. The flesh 

 is strongly marked in two shades of red. It bunches well, and is 

 of good quality. This variety produces a proportion of pale fleshed 

 roots. These have lighter colored tops and so may be easily 

 taken out when thinning. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. oz., 

 45c. i lb., $1.50 lb. 



EGYPTIAN BEET. 



A standard extra early sort and one of the very best for the 

 early crop. The roots are round and flattened, of good size and 

 deep crimson in color. The tops are unusually small, making 

 it a good bunching sort. It should be marketed as soon as ready, 

 as it is liable to become woody if left too long. Our stock is speci- 

 ally selected and of fine shape and color. Price, 10c. oz., 35c. \ 

 lb., $1.25 lb. 



We got first prize for Egyptian Beets this year. The Judge said they were the finest and truest to type he had seen for many a day. H. N. ARNOLD, Calais, Me.
