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 uni¬ 
form. The tops are small, and the 
whole plant grows easily and quickly. 
The flesh is.somewhat lighter in color 
than usual, but it is very attractive. 
It is an excellent variety for early use.

"I might say that we got first prize at our horti¬ 
cultural show, for Egyptian Beets grown from your 
seeds. I he judge said they were the finest and truest 
to their type he had ever seen." 
II. N. ARNOLD, Calais, Ms. 
Eclipse Beet 
Exceedingly popular, and one of the best early vari¬ 
eties; of uniform globular shape; flesh bright, glossy-red, 
fine grained and unusually tender and sweet. Price, 10c. 
pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 34 lb, 
$2.00 lb. 
Henderson’s 
Electric Beet 
Extra Early. 
An Ideal Table Beet, Rich, Red Flesh 
Electric Beet is the best extra early variety grown, quite as eariy 
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, tender, sweet and quite free from 
tough fibre. The color is most attractive, and its quick grow¬ 
ing habit makes it particularly desirable for the private garden.

Henderson’s Early Blood Turnip Beet 
This is a great improvement upon the good old standard 
variety, Early. Blood Turnip Beet. It is a great favorite with 
many gardeners and is very attractive in appearance, the roots 
being smooth and uniform, and the color deep blood red. 
The flesh is tender and sweet and it is an excellent variety for 
canning. This variety should be sown for a late crop on 
account of its quickness in maturing. For winter storage it is 
unexcelled. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. lb., $2.00 lb. 
Henderson’s Crimson Globe Beet 
This variety has met with great favor and is remarkably pop¬ 
ular 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 earlv and main crop variety. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. 34 lb., $2.50 lb. 
Detroit 
Dark Red Beet 
Probably the best of the larger sorts. 
It succeeds equally well at all seasons, and is one of the best 
to sow in early spring, to succeed the extra early and medium 
crop sorts. It may be sown about August 1st (in this vicinity) for 
a crop to store for winter. The flesh is solid, always tender, of good 
flavor and excellent color. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c.
