HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR TABLE BEETS 



HENDERSON'S EXTRA EAKLY 



ELECTRIC blood turnip BEET 



An Ideal Table Beet, fine-grained, rich red 

 flesh, exceedingly tender, remarkably early. 



The Electric is the finest Extra Early Beet grown, coming 

 in with the small, fiat Egyptian, but Electric is much larger 

 and of almost globular form. It is uniform in shape and size, 

 with smooth dark red skin. The leaves are small and grow com- 

 pactly on the root. The flesh is fine grained and tender, and 

 of delicious flavor; color, rich red, ringed with dark crimson. 

 The roots remain in fine condition a long time after maturity. 

 We highly recommend our Electric as the best extra early table 

 Beet. (See cut.)

" Your Electric Beets were the best we ever had, and earlier than any other 



kind." C. L. PORTER, Cumberland. Md. 



" I had the Earliest and finest in the County last year from your Electric seed." 



D. N. JOHNSON, Meadville, Pa. 



NEW EARLY MODEL BEET 



This splendid variety — of English origin — has attained perfec- 

 tion for table use. It is a medium early variety, coming in 

 between Extra Early Electric and Crimson Globe. The roots 

 of Early Model are of good size and run uniformly perfect, al- 

 most round, with small dark crimson-colored 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 blood-crimson, equaling that of the best 

 long beets. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. J4 lb., $1.25 lb. 



" / may say that my Model Beets from your seed are praised by all who see 

 them; tender, sweet a>id of grand color." 



GEO. L. FARMER, Tuxedo Park, N. Y. 



CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN BEET 



An improvement over the popular Extra Early Egyptian 

 Beet, being equally as early and altogether larger and less flat, 

 running very uniform in size and shape with small foliage. The 

 flesh is of excellent quality and of a distinct vermilion red.

HENDERSON'S 



Crimson Globe Beet 



A Grand Second Early and Main Crop Variety. 



It is just the Beet you want for the table. Beautiful Form. 

 Rich Red Flesh Exceedingly Tender. Deliciously Sweet. 



This splendid variety has now been grown quite extensively 

 in many sections of the country and the many good reports re- 

 ceived from our customers indicate that it gives most thorough 

 satisfaction. The root is of medium size, generally about three 

 inches in diameter, very handsome in shape, being a little deeper 

 than round, with a remarkably smooth surface. It has a very 

 small tap-root. The very dark leaves are small and borne on 

 slender stems which occupy but a small portion of the root, 

 but it is the exquisite tenderness of the flesh and the complete 

 absence of any stringy or woody character that so thoroughly 

 distinguish this beet. The interior color is very deep crimson 

 throughout, but is ringed or zoned in a most beautiful manner, 

 making it very attractive in appearance. (See cut.) 



Price, 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 35c. % lb., $1.00 lb. 



"I consider your Crimson Globe Beet an acquisition and shall plant a larger 

 quantity next season. Besides being fit for use early and its other good qualities, 

 I find it an excellent keeper." 



THOMAS GOLDRING. Bennington, Vt. 

 " Your Crimson Globe Beet is a very pure strain. I grew about two tons, all of 

 tliem beauties. They are a fine table beet. " 



HENRY GREFFRATH. South Lima, N. Y. 

 " Your Crimson Globe Beets were the best we ever had. We used from them all 

 summer, and pitted the balance for winter. We had some cooked for dinner to- 

 day (.March 3d) and tliey were as tender and sweet as if freshly pulled. " 



WM. P. WAKEMAN, Middletown, Conn. 



DETROIT DARK RED BEET 



A fine strain of the Early Blood-red Turnip Beet. Valuable 

 for its remarkable uniformity and smoothness, size medium; 

 flesh rich red, fine-grained, tender and remaining so for a long 

 time; admirable for either summer or fall use. Roots very 

 smooth, uniformly round and never woody. The tops are dark- 

 colored and vigorous. It is one of the best varieties for the 

 home garden or market and will be found equally as good to 

 store for winter. 



Price, 5c. pkt., 10c. oz., 30c. \i lb., $1.00 lb.
