AIENDERSON’S « NEW YORK ” Lettuce. 
Is of unusual size and solidity of head, with but little tendency 
to run to seed. We have had it, time and again, 18 inches in diam- 
eter, and weighing nearly four pounds, with heads almost as 
solid as an Early Summer Cabbage, which in general form it some- 
what resembles. The variety blanches itself naturally, is crisp, 
tender and of excellent flavor, and always free from bitterness. 
The outside color is distinct. It is not a forcing variety, but is 
one of the best for summer use ever introduced. (See cut.) 10c.

Henderson’s New Head Lettuce 
fee '' MIGNONETTE.” 
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 green- 
ish white. It is wonderfully hardy, resists drought and 
excessive moisture—a most valuable feature in our cli- 
mate. It is fit for use five days after Boston Market, 
which, combined with its long-standing character, consti- 
tutes it an all-seasons variety in a superlative degree. 
(See cut.) 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 70e. 14 lb., $2.00 lb.

they ever saw.’’—J. P. BooKuoutT, Chambersburg, Pa.
