Beet 



/ 



\ 



'* 



The largest of 

 the very early 

 sorts. It is very quick 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 excellent variety for early use. II

 [^succeeds equally well at all seasons, and is one of the best X 

 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 



\\

Henderson's 



Electric Beet 



224 Extra Early. 



An Ideal Table Beet, Rich, Red Flesh 



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



Ilk as any perfect in form, and of medium size. The leaves are 



|a. quite small and grow so compactly that they rhay be removed 



nt without marring the symmetry of the roots, so that they 



I|| present an extremely attractive appearance on the table. 



I Tpie quality is excellent, tender, sweet and quite free from 



| tough fibre. The color is most attractive, and its quick grow- 



jj ing habit makes it particularly desirable for the private garden.

Henderson's Early Blood Turnip Beet 



216 This is a great improvement upon the old 



variety, Early Blood 'turnip Beet, it is a great favorite with 



many gardeners and is very attractive in appearance, the roots 



being smooth and uniform, and the color deep blood red. 



The flesh is tender and sweet and it is an excellent variety for 



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



account of its quickness in maturing. For winter storage it is 



unexcelled. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c }4 lb., $1.50 lb. 



210 Henderson's Crimson Globe Beet 



This variety has met with great favor and is remarkably pop- 

 ular 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 

 a leaves are rich crimson in color, borne on slender stems, which 

 SB grow quite compactly, and are thus easily removed. The flesh 

 |j is deep crimson, ringed and zoned in varying shades. It is 

 W exquisitely tender, and delicious in flavor. Though it grows 

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

 very long period. A grand second early and main crop variety. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 65c. M lb., $2.00 lb.
