I had from, you last year 
was very fine.’—JOHN J. 
McEVOY, Petite Cote, Mon- 
treal, Canada. 
HENDERSON’S NEW LETTUCE, IMMENSITY is a gigantic Lettuce, with an CIOL, solid head. pnne 
9 plant and head not only attain phenomenal dimensions, 
but it is also of the finest quality, even the outer leaves being tender. The plant is fully 18 inches in diameter, while the head 
proper is proportionately large. It is one of the slowest to run to seed that we have ever seen, and maintains that crispness of 
texture and sweetness of flavor that will surely make it popular. It is an excellent variety for early sowing, as it has good 
heat-resisting qualities which carry it safely through the most trying seasons. It is not early, but is absolutely reliable for a 
late crop at a season when other varieties are hard to procure. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 1 Ib., $3.00 Ib. 
HENDERSON’ S New Cos Lettuce, EXPRESS 
OS LETTUCES~—also popularly known as ‘¢ ROMAINE’’— 
are much esteemed by epicures as the most crisp, tender and 
succulent of all types of Lettuce. They thrive in hot weather, 
are slow to run to seed, and are grown exactly the same as the 
large round-headed summer ‘‘Cabbage’’ Lettuces, excepting 
that Cos varieties form tall, elongated heads, the outer leaves of 
which are usually drawn together at the top and tied in order to 
better blanch the head and a larger portion of the inner leaves. 
Of course, the tying up of everyindividual plant in alarge patch 
is somewhat tedious, and for this reason growers of Cos Lettuce 
will be pleased to learn that our new Express Cos requires no 
tying, thus being entirely distinct from any other Cos. Itis mid- 
way between White Cos and Green in color. Its form is much 
more compact than any other Cos, being dwarfer, and heading 
without any artificial aid, and absolutely self-folding in char- 
acter. It has stood the intense and trying temperature of our sum- 
mers with remarkable success without showing any sign of 
wilting or burning. The midrib and veins are unusually small, 
so that every leaf is edible throughout. It is also valuable for 
forcing. Wecan strongly recommend it for an all-round Cos or 
Romaine Lettuce; the market gardener will find it valuable for 
shipping, its compact form insuring its good condition after 
unpacking. (Sze cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 { Ib., $3.00 Ib. 
“7 take this opportunity of praising your Cos Lettuce; they are superb. 
One is large enough for a small family. ”_Dr, J. FITZ-METHE W, West Sound, 
Wash. 
; “‘Your Express Cos Lettuce was the finest ITever saw; every plant was a 
ices solid head, and quality superfine.”’—C. C. MURPHY, 9th and B Streets, Washing- 
ton, D.C.
