TWO GRAND EARLY TARLE REETS 
(Shown in Colors on Plate opposite) 
HENDERSON’S 
Early Blood Turnip Beet 
( Shown in colors on opposite page) 
This is a great improvement upon the good old standard varietyi 
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. 
T I 1 * 8 variety should be sown for a late crop on account of its 
quickness in maturing. For winter storage it is unexcelled. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 33c. oz., $1.20 lb., $4.00 lb. 
Our booklet “HENDERSON’S GARDEN CULTURE OF ROOT CROPS’’ gives full instructions for planting, cultivating and 
also storing for winter, beets and all other root crops. It is written in plain language, easily understood by the amateur gardener.

Testi^ g at our jt Extra Early Egyptian Beet 
Experimental Farm 
(Shown in colors on opposite page) 
First in Flavor, First in Color. First on the Tablo in Early Summer 
An exceedingly early variety and considered by many to be the 
best of the early garden beets. When sown in the open ground in 
favorable weather, the roots may be pulled for table use in June 
at which time they are as big as a small apple and their flavor is at 
its best. The root is rounded and flattened, especially 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 mixea 
with green. Every garden should contain a few rows of this first 
early beet, an additional advantage of which is that the roots may 
be grown very close together. (See colored illustration.) Price, 
10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.40 y lb., $3.00 lb. 
ROOT CROPS SHOULD RECEIVE THE SPECIAL ATTENTION OF HOME GARDENERS 
because by storing them in cellars, or in pits outside, a bountiful supply of vegetable food for the winter may be secured. 
Chantenay Carrot 
( Shown in colors on opposite page) 
This splendid Carrot belongs to the half-long “stump” or blunt- 
rooted type, but differs from all others of this class by its greater girth, 
bulk and consequent yield. It averages 6 to 7 inches in length, is broad 
at the neck, narrowing gradually to the round, blunt base, therefore is 
easily harvested. The flesh, almost free from core, is of rich orange-red 
and of the finest table quality; fine-grained, tender, juicy and delicately 
flavored. Chantenay Carrot is an excellent variety for use either for 
an early crop or a main crop. In the latitude of New York sow as 
early as possible for early carrots, certainly not later than the end of 
April, so that the roots will mature before July. The roots of course 
aro best when used young. For a main crop sow Chantenay from 
June 1st to June 20th. Carrots split and grow rooty if checked in 
growth. This may bo avoided by water¬ 
ing when dry, and by an occasional ap- , 
plication of liquid manure. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.20

HENDERSON’S SELECTED 
Half-Long Danvers Carrot 
(Shown in colors on opposite page) 
A handsome, half-long cylindrical, stump-rooted Carrot of good 
size and of a rich, dark orange color; it grows to a large size; is 
smooth, and the flesh very close in texture with very little core. 
It is a first-class Carrot for all soils and has yielded 25 to 30 tons 
per acre, with the smallest length of root of any now grown. It is 
more easily harvested than the longer types and is excellent to 
store for winter, for stock or table use. Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., 
$1.20 34 lb., $4.00 lb. 
“ From Henderson's seeds I raised the finest lot of vegetables in this part 
of the country. 1 wish you could see my cellar, 1 have Carrots eight inches 
loyig and three inches in diameter , big round beets and celery eighteen inches 
to two feet high. Everything grew fine." 
Oct. 30, 1917. MAXWELL HILL, Skillman, N. J. 
“ Your Carrots are way ahead of any others that I know about.” 
Mrs. ELIZABETH IIARNSBERGER,

“ The seeds we received were very fine and we want especially 
to mention the Carrot." II. J. DONA VIN,

“ Your Carrots were the best I ever saw. My crop 
made some new customers for you after I told them 
where I got the seed." MARTIN G1NERTY.

“ You should boom your Carrots, 
they deserve more recognition.”

“Previous to eating 
Henderson's Car¬ 
rots I did not care 
for that kind of 
vegetable, but since 
we raised some of 
those last year and 
learned their flavor I 
cannot get enough of 
them."

Mail Your Orders Early, say in January or February 
Supplies of many varieties are short., and the demand will 
probably be greater than ever.
