Henderson ’ s CRIMSON GLOBE Beet. 
A GRAND SECOND EARLY

This splendid variety — of English origin — has attained Beet perfection 
for table use. It is a medium early variety, coming in between Extra 
Early Electric and Crimson Globe. The bulbs of Early Model —of good 
size— run uniformly perfect, almost round, with small dark crimson colored 
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 blood-crimson, equalling that of the best long 
beets. (See cut.)

For our complete list of Table Beets see page 51; Farm Beets, page 66. 
It is just the Beet you Beautiful Form. Exceedingly Tender, 
want for the table. ; Rich Red Flesh. Deliciously Sweet. 
This splendid variety has now been grown quite extensively in many 
sections of the country and the many good reports received from our cus¬ 
tomers indicate that it gives most thorough satisfaction. The root is of 
medium size generally about three inches in diameter, very handsome in 
shape, being a little deeper than round, with a remarkably smooth surface. 
It has a very small tap-root. The very dark leaves are small and borne on 
slender stems which occupy but a small portion of the root, but it is the 
exquisite tenderness of the flesh and the complete absence of any stringy or 
woody character that so thor¬ 
oughly distinguish this beet. 
The interior color is very deep 
crimson throughout, but is 
ringed or zoned in a most beau¬ 
tiful manner, making it very 
attractive in appearance. ( See 
cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 16c. oz., 
36c. i lb., $1.00 lb. 
“/ consider your new Crimson Globe 
Beet an acquisition, and shall plant a 
larger quantity next season. Besides 
being fit for use early, and its other 
good qualities, 1 find it an excellent 
keeper.'' 
TI 1 OS. GOLDRING, Bennington, Vt. 
“ Your Crimson Globe Beets were the 
best we ever had. We used from them 
all summer, and pitted the balance for 
winter. We had 'Some cooked for 
dinner to-day (March 3d) and they were 
as tender and sweet as if freshly pulled."

HENDERSONS EXTRA EARLY 
Electric Turnip Beet. 
An Ideal Table Beet, fine-grained, rich red 
flesh, exceedingly tender, remarkably early. 
The Electric is the finest Extra 
Early Beet grown, coming in with 
the small, flat Egyptian, but Elec¬ 
tric is much larger and of almost 
globular form. It runs remarkably 
uniform in shape and size, with 
smooth dark red skin, slender leaves, 
closely set in the centre. The flesh 
is fine grained and tender, and of 
delicious flavor; color, rich red, 
ringed with dark crimson. The 
roots remain in fine condition a long 
time after maturity. We highly 
recommend our Electric as the best 
extra early table Beet. (See cut.)
