HENDERSON'S NEW YORK LETTUCE. ™* **«""*-"* 



CROP HEAD LETTUCES. 



IMMENSE HEADS AS 

 SOLID AS A CABBAGE. 



Blanches Beautifully ; Crisp, 



Tender and free from 



Bitterness. 



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 bitter- 

 ness. It is a very large, ro- 

 bust-growing variety, rooting 

 deeply, resisting hot, dry 

 weather, very slow T 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 exten- 

 sively grown by our customers 

 in almost all sections of the 

 country and 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., 65c.

"We have grown a flood many kinds of lettuce: in fnct, I think we have tried 

 all. We saw the 'New York' in your catalogue several years ago, and have grown 

 it ever since, with no equal." 



BEXJ. F. YOUNG, Manhasset, X. Y. 

 "Your New York Lettuce succeeded beyond my expectation, some heads being 

 lh feet across. Solid, tender, without bitterness, and lasting longer in season 

 than any other lettuce 1 ever saw." 



Mrs. G. M1NSHALL, Thamesville, Ont., Can. 

 'Henderson's New York Lettuce is the best lettuce I have ever grown." 



II. II. McCUTCHEOX. Azusa.Caiif. 

 "Of all the lettuce I ever saw or tasted. I must say your Xew York is the very 

 best, without an exception, in both size and quality."

H end /e%°l k e$tvc E , immensity. 



The Largest Head Lettuce in the World! Often 4 to S feet in circumference. 

 A luxuriant grower, consequently tender, sweet and crisp. 



A gigantic Lettuce, with an enormous, solid head. The 

 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 

 proportionate!}' large. It is one of the slowest to run to seed 



that we have ever seen, 

 and maintains that crisp- 

 ness of texture and sweet- 

 ness 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 abso- 

 lutely reliable for a late 

 crop at a season when 

 other varieties are hard 

 to procure. (See cut.)
