HENDERSON'S SPECIAL CROSBY'S 

 EGYPTIAN 



This is one of the earliest beets on the market, and it is undoubtedly 

 the most desirable small beet for early market purposes, because it \- & 

 attains a presentable shape in a shorter space of time than any other \' < 

 variety. 



The color is an intense, deep red, almost black; and the flesh is sweet 

 and tender. The root is smooth, round, and slightly flattened and the 

 tops are small in size. "Crosby's Special" is a very rapid grower, and 

 can be sown as late as July with a good return. 



The strain we offer is very fine and uniform in shape and color. 

 (See engraving.) Price, oz. 20c, H lb. 50c, lb. $1.60, 10 lb. lots @ 

 $1.45., 25 lb. lots at $1.40. 



HENDERSON'S CRIMSON GLOBE 



This variety has met with great favor and is remarkably popular among 

 gardeners in all sections of the country. It 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. A grand second early and 

 main crop variety. 



Price, oz. 16c; }4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25; 

 10 lb. lots @ 81.20; 26 lb. lots @ $1.16. 



Henderson's Crimson Globe Beet has gained

 of the finest quality and handsome appearance. 

 It is a splendid keeper.

EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN 



QJ 



An exceedingly early variety and considered by 

 many to be the best of the early garden beets. The root is rounded and flattened espe- 

 cially 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. Price, oz. 16c, }4, lb. 40c, 

 lb. $1.16, 10 lb. lots @,1.10., 25 lb. lots @1.00. 



EARLY WONDER 



It keeps well, and is especially suitable for fall 'sowing [because it matures two weeks 

 earlier than any other marketable beet. One of its best points is that entire fields 

 of it are harvested at one operation because all the roots mature at the same time. 

 The demand for Early Wonder is heavy and we advise early orders. (See engraving). 

 Price, oz. 20c, }4 lb. 50c, lb. $1.60, 10 lb. lots @ $1.45, 25 lb. lots @ $1.40. 



HENDERSON'S DETROIT DARK RED SPECIAL STOCK 



We recommend this strain to our customers because it is an exceptionally fine selection 

 of the well known market variety Detroit Dark Red. It is very valuable to the market 

 gardener on account of the uniformity in shape of its very smooth roots, and its con- 

 sistently dark red color; there being no light colored roots in this stock, often found in 

 some selections of Detroit Dark Red. As a market sort it is unsurpassable. Price, 

 oz. 20c, U lb. 50c, 1 lb. $1.60, 10 lb. lots $1.46, 25 lb. $1.40. 



ECLIPSE 



One of the best to follow after the very early sorts. When young it may be bunched, 

 but it is also used as a basket beet, and is known and sells freely on every market. 

 It is medium in size, the tops small for size of root, the outer color is dark and the flesh 

 strongly ringed in two shades of red. Price, oz. 16c, % lb. 35c, lb. $1.00, 10 lb. lots, 

 @ 96c, 26 lb. lots @ 90c
