Henderson's MIGNONETTE LETTUCE, 



:: :: A Delicious First-Early. :: :: 



"Once tasted aiways wanted" is the happy expression of an admirer, and this is the 

 unanimous opinion of all who have eaten this splendid little Lettuce, its chief 

 merit being quality. The phenomenally solid little heads are dense masses of 

 crumpled leaves, blanched creamy-white, very tender, remarkably crisp, and as sweet 

 as — well — Mignonette Lettuce, for none other in quality quite equals it. Another 

 valuable feature is its extreme hardiness, which makes it specially adapted for early 

 spring planting, or cold-frame culture, or growing out during the winter in the Southern 

 States; it heads quickly and surely, and, in consequence, may be had very early; 

 moreover, it is a first-rate summer lettuce, resisting heat, drought and wet, and 

 slow to bolt to seed. It is a compact-growing variety, the plants spread only about 

 seven inches, enabling them to be closely planted. The outer leaves are bronzy- 

 green and russet, but the interior is beautifully white and inviting. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. M lb., $2.50 lb. 



"Your Mignonette is the finest early lettuce we ever saw. Every head was firm, 

 and crisp and lasted a month before it bolted to seed." 



J. R. CAMPBELL, Wallingford, Ct. 



"I have planted Mignonette Lettuce in my garden for a number of years and have 

 it under glass all winter. It looks beautiful when served on the table; a nice, crisp 

 variety." CHAS. S. CASH, Salem, N. Y.

A SPLENDID EARLY VARIETY 



Lettuces naturally thrive better during the cooler weather 

 of spring and fall than in a torrid summer — the season really 

 when such crisp, cooling salad is most enjoyable and in great 

 demand; consequently there has been bred a number of 

 heat-resisting or summer lettuces, among which our Perfected 

 Salamander is the acknowledged leader. It forms good- 

 sized, compact and tender heads, creamy-white inside and of 

 that desirable rich buttery flavor; outer color, light green; it 

 remains long in head without running to seed, and stands a 

 great amount of heat without burning. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 25c. oz., 65c. V| lb., $2.00 lb. 



"Last spring I ordered your Salamander Lettuce, and must say it was most 

 satisfactory notwithstanding the hot, dry weather in June."

Excels in QUALITY, TENDERNESS 

 and CRISPNESS 



HENDERSON'S "TRIANON" 



excels all other Lettuces in qual- 

 ity, having a crispness, tender- 

 ness and flavor peculiarly its own 

 and unapproached by any other 

 variety. The heads are long and 

 conical. The leaves require to be 

 tied up, when they soon form 

 solid heads and quickly bleach to 

 snowy whiteness and become as 

 stiff, crisp and sweet as celery 

 stalks,_ and are delicious when 

 eaten in the same manner or pre- 

 pared for salad. (See cut.)

"/ take this opportunity of praising 

 Trianon Cos Lettuce. It is superb — one 

 is large enough for a small family." — Dr.
