(For other varieties see Colored Plate, page 21 ) 
The largest of the very early sorts. It is very 
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 excel¬ 
lent variety for early use. (Sec engraving.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 35c. oz., $1.20. lb., $4.00 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 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, tender, sweet and quite 
free from tough fibre. The color is most at¬ 
tractive, and its quick growing habit makes it 
particularly desirable for the private garden. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.40. 34 lb., $5.00 lb. 
“ We wish to say that your Electric Blood Turnip Beets 
are th* "try best for our market that we ever planted." 
W. W. SAMUEL & SONS, 
Ettrick, Va, 
Exceedingly popular, and one of the best early varieties; of 
uniform globular shape; flesh bright, glossy-red, fine grained, and unusually tender and sweet. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.20, 34 lb., $4.00 lb. 
This splendid variety is of English origin and 
is perfect for table use. It is medium early, 
coming in between Extra Early Electric and Crimson Globe. The 
roots arc of good size, slightly oval, with small, dark crimson leaves 
and a slim tap-root. In quality and color it is peerless; very fine 
3nder and sweet, never woody or stringy. Color of 
and flesh deep rich crimson, equalling that of the best 
long beets. Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.40 34 lb., $5.00 lb. 
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., 35c. oz., 
$1.20. 34 lb., $4.00 lb. 
ROOT 
CROPS OF 
ALL KINDS 
SHOULD BE GROWN 
BY THE HOME GARDENER 
Because by storing them in cellars, or in pits outside, 
a bountiful supply of vegetable food for the winter may 
be provided. 
A Grand Second Early and Main Crop Variety 
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. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. 
oz., $1.20. 34 lb., $4.00 lb.
