PETER HENDERSON & CO.— VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



Henderson's New York Lettuce. 



^ 



m 





WM 



' Is of unusual sfze and solidity of head, with but little tendency 

 to run to seed. We have had it time and again eighteen inches in 

 diameter, and weighing nearly four pounds, with heads almost as solid 

 as an an early Summer Cabbage, which in general form it somewhat 

 resembles. The variety blanches itself naturally, is crisp, tender and 

 of excellent flavor, and always free from bitterness. The outsidd 

 color is distinct in shade from any other Lettuce that we are familiae 

 with, being a clear, deep apple green, while on the inside the color is 

 yellowish white. It is not a forcing variety, but is certainly one of the 

 best varieties for summer use ever introduced. (See cut.) 10 cts. 

 pkt.; 20 cts. oz.; 60 cts. % lb.; $2.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S NEW YORK LETTUCE. 



NEW LETTUCE, 

 "Big Soston." 



(Novelty, iSgo.) 



This variety is identical in col or, shape and general 

 appearance with the famous Boston Market Lettuce, 

 but is double the size. It is about one week later in 

 maturing, but its solidity and greater size of head 

 will nake it a most valuable sort. A most desirable 

 variety either for forcing or open ground planting. 

 (Set cut.) Price, 20c. per pkt. ; 50c. per oz. ; $1.50 

 per % lb.; $5.00 per lb. 



iPfew Watermelon, "Ruby Sol 



(Novelty i8qo.) 



A_New Seedling: from Henderson's Green and Gold. 



This splendid new Melon is a hybrid seedling of the famous 

 " Green and Gold " Watermelon which was introduced by us in r888. 

 It excels in beauty and quality all other varieties. The distinct dark 

 markings as shown in the engravings are the red flesh, and the light 

 shade shows the yellow. The markings vary, in some specimens the 

 yellow predominating, and in others the red. The "Ruby Gold'' 

 averages 40 to 50 lb. in weight, and is considered by the best 

 authorities to be the juiciest and finest flavored Watermelon ever 

 raised in Georgia. (See cut.) 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts. for 50 cts.; 

 7 for $1.00.
