TWO GRAND TABLE BEETS 



(Shown in Colors on Plate opposite) 



Crosby's Egyptian Beet 



The largest of the very oarly sorts. It is 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 it is very attractive. 

 It is an excellent variety for early use. Price, ioc. pkt., 25c. oz., 

 85c. U lb., $3.00 lb. 



"I might say that we got first prize at our horticultural show for Egyptian 

 Beets grown from your seeds. The judge said they were the finest and truest 

 to their type he had ever seen." 



H. N. ARNOLD, Calais, Maine. 



" Your Crosby's Egyptian Beet is a winner." 



FRANK E. DEIHL, Flushing, N. Y. 



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 

 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. 

 Price, ioc. pkt., 25c. oz., 85c. M lb., $3.00 lb. 



" Your Carrots were the best I ever saw. My crop made some new customers 

 for you after I had told them where I got the seed." 



MARTIN GIN ERTY, Tyngsboro, Mass.

TWO SPLENDID TABLE CARROTS 



(Shown in colors on opposite page) 



GHANTENAY CARROT 



This splendid Carrot belongs to the half-long "stump" or blunt- 

 rooted type, but differs from all others of this class by its greater 

 girth, bulk and consequent yield. It averages 6 to 7 inches in length, 

 is broad at the neck, narrowing gradually to the round, blunt bass, 

 therefore is easily harvested. The flesh, almost free from core, is of 

 rich orange-red and of the finest table quality; fine-grained, tender, 

 juicy and delieatelyflavored. Chantenay Carrot is an excellent 

 variety for use either for an early crop or a main crop. In the 

 latitude of New York sow as early as possible for early carrots, 

 certainly not later than the end of April, so that the roots will 

 mature before July. The roots of course are best when used young. 

 For a main crop sow Chantenay from June 1st to June 20th. Carrots 

 split and grow rooty if checked in growth. This may be avoided by 

 watering when dry, and by an occasional 

 application of liquid manure. Price, ioc. 

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



44 You should h oom your Carrots, they 

 deserve more recognition."

HENDERSON'S SELECTED 



Mail Your Orders Early, say in January or February. 



Half- Long Danvers Carrot 



A handsome, half-long cylindrical, stump-rooted Carrot of good 

 size and of a rich, dark orange color; it grows to a large size; is 

 smooth, and the flesh very close in texture with very little core. 

 It is a first-class Carrot for all soils and has yielded 25 to 30 tons 

 per acre, with the smallest length of root of any now grown. It is 

 more easily harvested than the longer types and is excellent to 

 store for winter, for stock or table use. Price, ioc. pkt., 25c. oz., 

 75c. M lb., $2.50 lb.

"Previous to eating Henderson's Carrots I did not care for that kind of vegetable, 

 but since we raised some of those last year and learned their flavor I cannot get 

 enough of them." 



A. K. BRADENBURGH, N. Allen St., Albany, N. Y. 

 "From Henderson's seeds I raised the finest lot of vegetables in this part of the 

 country. I wish you could see my cellar, I have Carrots eight inches lung and 

 Ks^ three inches in diameter, big round beets and celery eighteen inches to two 

 feel high. Everything grew fine." 



MAXWELL HILL, SkiUman, X. J.

 =. abovj."
