EXTRA EARLY BEET 
HENDEKSON'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. \i lb., $2.25 lb. 
“ We wish to say that your Electric Blood Turnip Beets are the very best for our

tric and Crimson Globe. The roots are of good size, slightly oval, 
with small, dark crimson leaves, and a slim tap root. In 
quality and color it is peerless; very finegrained, tender and 
sweet, never woody or stringy. Color of both skin and flesh

CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN BEET 
The largest of the very early 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 some¬ 
what lighter in color than usual, but is very attractive. It is an 
excellent variety for early use. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c.oz., 55c. J4 lb., 
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. % 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.
