PETER HENDERSON & CO'S VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES.

New Lettuce— Salamander. 



The culture of this valuable new sort had been entirely 

 monopolized for several years by our Hudson County (N. 

 J.) Market Gardeners, until two years ago, when we 

 offered it for general distribution. The Salamander is 

 the best variety for summer use, forming good-sized, 

 compact heads ; color light green outside and white on 

 the inside. Its great merit, however, is that it will with- 

 stand drought and heat, and remain longer in head than 

 any other variety ; this peculiarity has been fully proven 

 through two unexampled dry seasons. It is very slow to 

 run to seed, and to Market Gardeners is invaluable on 

 account of its heat resisting qualities.

the summer heat splendidly, and attains a size nearly 

 double that of Curled Simpson. It is equally suited for 

 forcing; but, on account of its large size, it might not 

 prove to be as profitable under some circumstances as the 

 strictly forcing varieties, such as Boston Market or Ten 

 nis Ball.

Mangel Wurzel— Henderson's 

 Colossal Long Red. 



A. very fine variety of Mangel Wurzel. The roots 

 are smooth and regular, and of the largest size, and of 

 blood-red color. The quality is exceedingly nutritious, 

 and in all respects the variety is most distinct and 

 valuable.

 BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON LETTUCE. 



Lettuce— Black Seeded 

 Simpson. 



We consider this Black-Seeded Simpson to be one of 

 the most desirable acquisitions that has been made to our 

 list of Lettuces within ten years. It has now been 

 thoroughly tested and from every side we hear the most 

 satisfactory reports in regard to it. Like the ordinary 

 Curled Simpson, it does not properly form a head, but a 

 compact mass of leaves ; but differs in being very much 

 lighter colored, the leaves being almost white ; stands 



10 cts. per oz. ; 20 cts. per J lb.; 60 cts. per lb.

MANGEL WURZEL — GOLDEN TANKARD.

 Tankard.

 flavor, and bright ye.llow in color. When cut it shows 

 interior rings similar to most varieties of garden beet.
