Henderson’s 
electric Beet 
First in Flavor, First in Color 
First on the Table 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 under¬ 
neath; 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. Every garden should contain a few rows of th 
first early beet, an additional advantage of which is that the roots-m 
be grown very close together. (See colored illustration.) Price, oc.

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. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 85c. }4 lb., $3.00 lb. 
“IIenderson's Crimson Globe Beets have been thoroughly tested by us, and continue to give 
satisfaction to ourselves and our many customers.” ]V. L. THALES,

Henderson’s Electric Beet 
Extra Early. An Ideal Table Beet, Rich lied 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 
attractive, and its quick growing habit makes it particularly desirable for the 
private garden. (See colored illustration.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 85c. l /i lb., 
$3.00 lb.

We wish to say that your Electric Blood Turnip Beets are the very best for our market

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 somewhat lighten in 
color than usual, but is very attractive. It 
is an excellent variety for early use. Price

of good size, slightly oval, with small, dark crimson leaves 
and a slim tap-root. In quality and color it is peerless; 
very fine grained, tender and sweet, never woody or 
stringy. Color of both skin and flesh deep rich crimson, equalling that of the 
best long beets. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 85c. '.f lb., $3.00 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. Price,
