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 growing habit makes it particularly desir- 

 able for the private garden. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 

 60c. M lb., $2.25 lb. 



"We wish to say that your Electric Blood Turnip Beets are the very best for our

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 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. {See cut.) Price, 

 10c. pkt, 20c. oz., 60c. \i lb., $2.25 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 splendid 

 keeper and 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.
