BEET 



{Continued) 



Early Wonder Beet 



219. This beet, which is a selection from Crosby's Egyptian, keeps remarkably 

 •well, and is suitable for either spring or fall sowing. Early "Wonder matures two 

 weeks earlier than any other marketable beet, and one of its good points is that 

 entire fields can be harvested at one time because all the roots mature at the 

 same time. The roots are globe-shaped and uniform in size, the tops are small ; 

 the skin is deep red and the flesh a very dark red with little zoning. This variety 

 is now in great demand and we advise early orders. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 35c. oz., 90c. >4 lb., $2.50 lb. 



Early Model Beet 



218. This splendid %-ariety 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, and 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, equaling that of the best long beets. 



Price, 10c. pkt„ 30c. oz., 85c. M lb., $2.25 lb. u j » 



Henderson S 



Half Long Beet 



228. A Blood beet of superior 

 quality; tender, sweet and free 

 from woody fiber; for slicing 

 it is unequaled; flesh vivid 

 rich red. The roots, about 3 

 inches in diameter, are pear- 

 shaped with slender tap roots.

Henderson's 



Dalkeith Brussels Sprouts 



215. A very excellent selection of this estimable 

 vegetable, far too little known to American gar- 

 deners. Sown in June in the latitude of New 

 York, it produces an abundant crop of Sprouts 

 — solid, succulent and delicious — in the fall and 

 early winter. It is hardier than Cabbage, just as 

 easily grown, and available long after all other 

 green vegetables are gone. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 l' k lb. 



Long Island Brussels Sprouts 



242. This is a fine strain of sprouts grown ex- 

 tensively for the Xew York market, where they 

 bring a good price, especially during the winter. 

 The plants produce a large crop. We offer a 

 special dwarf selection. 

 Price, 25c. pkt., 5 pkts., $1.00. 



White Cape Broccolli 



240. Medium sized, creamy white heads, similar 

 but inferior to Cauliflower, though hardier. 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 ' [ lb. 



We were still picking Dalkeith Brussel Sprouts in December. Although your seeds are the first I have ever used, the 

 results were so good, that I don't care to try any other brand. — ADOLPH E. MEIER. Franklin, N. J.
