...A FEW 
TESTIMONIALS 
“T cannot help sending you my testimony as to the result of the New York Lettuce. Of 
all the Lettuce I ever saw or tasted, I must say this is the very best. Iset out quite a large 
bed, and 26 heads were all I could get in a barrel without hard pressure. I gave it away to 
anybody and everybody I could, and without an exception, every one said it was the finest 
in both size and quality they ever saw.”

them and they were15to 16 inches across. Itisallyou claim forit. It looks like a cabbage head.” 
““We grew Henderson’s New York Lettuce that measured over 18 inches across, and every one at first sight said they were cabbages.” 
“T have used ‘Henderson’s New York Lettuce Seed’ for the past four years, and to my taste it stands without a rival among all the different 
varieties I have tried. I have given the seeds to different friends for trial, and from one and all comes the same old story, ‘The best I ever tasted.’”’ 
“Your New York Lettuce is something grand. Never saw anything like it in the way of Lettuce.”

NEW LETTUCE, e 
A small, sturdy, russet-colored Lettuce, distinct and unique, and of great 
value. The entire plant measures only 7 inches in diameter, and is more solid 
and compact than any existing variety. The outer leaves are few, and 
these cling so closely to the head that it is almost all head. The few 
outside leaves are as deeply crumpled as a Savoy Cabbage and richly 
colored with russet-red and bronze-green of varying shades. The cut ¢ 
section shows the character of the solid heart, which is of 
a creamy yellow waved with pale greenish white. It is 
wonderfully hardy, resists drought and excessive moisture 
—a most valuable feature in our climate. Itis fit for use 
five days after Boston Market, which, combined with its 
long-standing character, constitutes it an all-seasons 
variety in a superlative degree. (See cut.)
