HENDERSON'S 



TABLE BEETS \\ 



Root crops of all kinds should 

 be grown by the home gardener, 

 because by storing them in cel- 

 lars, or in pits outside, a bountiful 

 supply of vegetable food for th< 

 winter may be provided. For 

 full instructions for Growing Beets

 of Root Crops." Sent Free if 

 asked for. 



Crosby's Egypti 

 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.

 oz., 60c. M lb., $2.00 lb. 



"I might say thai we got first prize at our horti 

 cultural show_ for Egyptian Beets grown from your 

 seeds. The judge said they were the finest and truest 

 to their type he had ever seen."

Henderson's 



Electric Beet 





Extra Early. 

 An Ideal Table Beet, Rich, Red Flesh 



J, 



Detroit 

 Dark Bed Beet 



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., 20c. 

 oz., 60c. M lb., $2.00 lb. 



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

 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 grow- 

 ing habit makes it particularly desirable for the private garden. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. % lb., $2.50 lb. 



Henderson's Early Blood Turnip Beet 



This is a great improvement upon the good old standard 



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., 60c. \i lb., $2.00 lb. 



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 

 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. A grand second early and main crop variety. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. M lb., $2.50 lb.
