 it stands early summer heat splendidly, and does 

 not bolt to seed for two weeks after it is fully 

 headed up. Color of the outside leaves pale 

 green, slightlv tinged reddish-brown. (See cut.)

 blanched heads are like little cabbages, and so delicious." 



J. R. ROBINSON, Passaic, N. J. 

 "Your Tenderheart Lettuce succeeded beyond my expecta- 

 tions. Such solid, crisp, tender heads without any bitterness." 

 GEORGE M. RICHARDS, Mercersburgh, Pa. 



HENDERSON'S 



New York Lettuce. 



THE KING OF MAIN-CROP HEAD LETTUCES. 

 IMMENSE HEADS AS SOLID AS A CABBAGE. 



BLANCHES BEAUTIFULLY; CRISP. TENDER 

 FREE FROM BITTERNESS. 



AND 



IT produces immense heads, often 15 and 16 inches across, and weighing 

 enormously. The interior is beautifully blanched, creamy-white, crisp, 

 tender and delicious, being absolutely free from any trace of bitterness. 

 It is a very large, robust-growing variety, rooting deeply, resisting hot, dry 

 weather, very slow to run to seed and a sure header under most trying 

 conditions. The outer color is of a distinct apple-green. We introduced 

 this variety a number of years ago, and it has been extensively grown by 

 our customers in almost all sections of the country, from whom we receive 

 most gratifying reports. As a standard main summer crop, hot-weather 

 Lettuce it is in every way desirable and has no equal, but is not recom- 

 mended for forcing. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 70c. \i lb., $2.25 lb. 



"/ cannot help sending you my testimony regarding your New 

 York Lettuce. Of all lettuce I ever saw or tasted, I must say this 

 is the best. It succeeded beyond my expectations. Everybody said 

 it was the finest both in size and quality they ever saw." 



MRS. L. W. CARR, Hamden, Ohio. 



"Your New York Lettuce is a perfect picture, and just as good 

 as it is pretty." Dr. A. T. RITTER, Loysville, Pa. 



" In all my Jfi years' experience in gardening I never raised 

 such lettuce as your New York. Monstrous heads, tender, sweet 

 and juicy, and a rapid grower. We think it has no peer in the 

 lettuce family." T. W. SPENCER. Highland Park, III. 



All Seasons Lettuce. 



THIS variety is very popular 

 where known, and deservedly, 

 for it is one of the best of the 

 ' ' B utterhead ' ' lettuces. It is medium 

 to large in size and of attractive 

 appearance, having broad pale green 

 leaves and a large, round, compactly 

 formed head of delicious quality, 

 crisp and of that buttery character 

 so much liked. Even the outer leaves 

 may be eaten with relish. As im- 

 plied by its name it may be grown 

 in the open, spring, summer or fall. 

 It is a great heat resist er, preserving 

 its freshness under trying conditions, 

 and is slow in bolting to seed. Price, 

 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 70c. \i lb., $2.25 lb. 



BLACK-SEEDED 



Simpson Lettuce. 



THIS is not a head Lettuce, the 

 plants forming large, loose 

 masses of curly and crumpled 

 yellow-green leaves, which are very 

 tender, crisp and delicious. It stands 

 the summer heat splendidly and is 

 practically everbearing, for as the . 

 leaves are picked new leaves will 

 grow. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. 

 M lb., $1.50 lb.
