^ Henderson's "fleuu Yo^k" I*ettaee.-l<* 



Is of unusual size 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 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 outside 

 color is distinct. It is not a forcing variety, but is one 

 of the best for summer use ever intro- 

 duced. (See cut.)

HENDEESON'S " NEW YORK " LETTUCE. 



LETTUCE. Curled Varieties. 



EARLY CURLED SIMPSON. Forms a close, compact mass of 

 curly leaves of a yellowish green. It is earlier than varieties 

 that form firm heads, and is the kind that is planted in 

 cold frames almost exclusively, and it is also largely grown as 

 an early open-air variety between a Cabbage crop. 5c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 40c. % lb., $1.25 lb. 



BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON. Forms large, loose heads of 

 thin and exceedingly tender golden yellow leaves; the best 

 curled variety, either for forcing or sowing out-of-doors, though 

 on account of its large size it is, under some circumstances, 

 not so profitable for forcing. It stands the summer heat 

 splendidly. 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. y± lb., $1.25 lb. 



We can also supply the following varieties of Lettuce, which 

 are too well known to need description, at the uniform price of 

 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. % lb., $1.25 lb. : 



Brown Dutch, Large India, Deacon, Oak Leaved, 



Early Prize Head, Large White Summer Cabbage, 



Boston Curled, Defiance Summer, All the Year Round. 



Henderson's 



"New York" Lette 



is a 



Grand Summer Lettuce. 



Large, Solid, 



and a sure Header. 



Cos, Howe, or Colon Lettuce. 



Cos Lettuce differs entirely in shape from other 

 varieties, the heads being long and conical, eight or 

 nine inches in height, and five or six inches in diameter. They 

 excel all other Lettuces in quality, having a taste and crispness 

 unequaled. To be had in perfection they require to be tied 

 up to insure their blanching. 



"TRIANON." This is the favorite in Europe. The long 

 narrow leaves form solid heads, bleach and quickly become 

 snowy white. The leaves when bleached are stiff like celery 

 stalks and can be eaten in the same manner. 10c. pkt., 25c. 

 oz., 75c. yiVo., $2.50 lb. 



PARIS WHITE COS. An old standard variety. The outer 

 coloring of this variety is yellowish green. 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 

 50c. M lb., $1.50 lb. 



Ol 



" The Banquet " Musk Melon. 



This superb melon represents years of careful selection and im- 

 provement of a stock of Musk Melon at the hands of the largest 

 and most experienced grower of melons in the world. The raiser 

 regards it as his greatest production and likely to supersede all 

 other red-fleshed melons. "The Banquet" is a medium-sized 

 melon, flat at both ends and more beautifully netted than any 

 known variety. In quality it has no equal ; the flesh is uniformly 

 deep and of that granulated character that always indicates a good 

 melon ; the color is a dark rich salmon. It will produce more fine 

 edible melons to a given area than any other variety. (See cut.) 

 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. J^ lb., $2.00 lb.
