Ww^mm FETEIR HEMBE 



Extra Early Egyptian Beet 



First in Flavor, First in Color 



First on the Table in Early Summer. 



An exceedingly early variety and considered by many to be the 

 best of the early garden beets. When sown in the open ground in 

 favorable weather, the roots may be pulled for table use in June, 

 at which time they are as big as a small apple and their flavor is at 

 its best. The root is rounded and flattened, especially underneath; 

 grows almost entirely out of the ground, to which it is held by a 

 slender tap-root. The skin is very smooth; violet-red in color; 

 flesh of a dark blood color; leaves brownish-red, more or less mixed 

 with green. Every garden should contain a few rows of this first 

 early beet, an additional advantage of which is that the roots may 

 be grown very close together. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 45c. }i lb., $1.50 lb. 



Detroit Dark Red 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 suc- 

 ceed 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. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. I4 lb., $2.00 lb. 



Eclipse Beet 



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

 uniform globular shape; flesh bright, glossy-red, fine grained, and 

 unusually tender and sweet. Price, 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 50c. J^ lb., 

 $1.75 lb. 



"Your Eclipse Beets were the best we ever had. They were earlier than 

 any other kind." Mrs. A. G. BROWN, Idaho. Ohio. 



Early Model Beet 



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., 20c. oz., 60c. M lb., 

 $2.25 lb.

EXTRA EARLY BEET 



Henderson's Electric 



An Ideal Table Beet, Fine Grained, 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, ten- 

 der, sweet and quite free from tough fibre. The color is most 

 attractive, and its quick growijig habit makes it particularly desir- 

 able for the private garden.

Henderson's Crimson Globe Beet 



A Grand Second Early and Main Crop Variety 

 Crimson Globe Beet. This variety has become remarkably popular 

 among gardeners in all sections of the country, and needs no recom- 

 mendation to those who have grown it. It is of medium size, gener- 

 ally 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, 

 ii; will remain tender for a very long period. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 85c. J^ lb., $3.00 lb. 



We'got First Prize on Crimson Globe Beets at our fair. 

 They were very fine." 



Miss MABEL HANLY, Imlay City, Mich. 



'Henderson's Crimson Globe Beet has gained and 

 maintained a reputation as a main crop variety of 

 the finest quality and handsome appearance. It 

 is a s plendidkee per ajtd. in fact, has become so 

 popular that some envious seedsmen prefix their 

 names to it. We had some for dinner on April 

 30th and they were still tender and delicious." 

 WM. E. VAIL, Yorktown Heights, N. Y. 



Crosby's Egyptian Beet 



The largest of the very early sorts. It ia 

 very quick to attain size. The shape is a 

 little flat, but very uniform. The tops are 

 small, and the whole plant grows easily and 

 quickly. The flesh is somewhat lighter in 

 color than usual, but is very attractive. It 

 is an excellent variety for early use. Price, 

 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. }4 lb., $2.00 lb.
