HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



11 



HENDEKSON'S NEW 



TENDEKHEART LETTUCE. 



This is similar to the old Boston Market in general appearance, 

 but is superior to it in every way. The plant is of the same size, 

 but the head proper is much larger, and it has fewer 

 outside leaves. Its value to the market gardener lies 

 in its remarkable uniformity, every plant coming true 

 to type, and in its ability to stand after maturity with- 

 out going to seed. It has the bright attractive color 

 of Salamander, though the outer leaves are a shade 

 darker. It is without doubt the best first earlv market 

 lettuce. (See cut.) Price^Oc. oz., 65c. \ lb., $1.75 lb. 



"I send my testimony of the merit of your Tenderheart Lettuce. It 

 succeeded beyond my expectations. The finest lettuce J ever grew.

HENDERSON'S 



Perfected Salamander Lettuce. 



Extra Selected Market Gardener's Strain. 



This is one of the standard vegetables introduced by us and 

 the demand for it has steadily increased until it is the leading 

 variety grown by market gardeners for summer heading. 



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 in great demand, consequently 

 there has been bred a number of 

 heat-resisting or summer lettuces, 

 among which our Perfected Sala- 

 mander 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 longer in head without 

 running to seed than any other va- 

 riety and stands a great amount of 

 heat without burning. We recom- 

 mend it to critical market gardeners. 

 (See cut.) 



Price 20c. oz., 50c. | lb., $1.40 lb-

 season. ERNEST WESTON, Newport, R.I. 



Henderson's Cos or Celery Lettuce 



" TRIANON." 



Excels all other Lettuces in quality,' having a crisp- 

 ness, tenderness and flavor peculiarly its own and unap- 

 proached 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, become as stiff, crisp and sweet as 

 celery stalks, and are delicious when eaten in the same 

 ; manner or prepared for salad. Price, 15c. oz., 40c. \ 

 ^ lb., $1.20 lb. 



" Your Cos Lettuce was the finest I ever saw. Every head was a 

 solid head and sold well. 11

 " / take this opportunity for praising Trianon Cos Lettuce. It is superb — 

 one is large enough for a small family,"

GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE. 



This does not form compact heads but a large mass of beau- 

 tifully curly crisp leaves, tender and delicious; it is the best 

 of the- loose-leaved sorts. A rapid grower and admirable for 

 field or indoor-culture, its upright habit prevents leaf-rot when 

 grown under glass. Price 15c. oz., 40c. \ lb., $1.25 lb. 



Black - Seeded Simpson. 



Very large loose heads of curly 

 golden-yellow leaves; which are 

 thin and tender. It stands summer 

 heat splendidly and is valued for 

 frame culture.
