VEfiETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES-^ 



H enderson ' s Mignonette Lettuce & 



... A DELICIOUS FIRSTEARLY . . . 



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

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

 merit being quality. The phenomenally solid little heads are densely packed with 

 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 earty 

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

 States; they head 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.) s&*-i

"Your Mignonette Lettuce is a revelation. It surpasses in crispness and 

 flavor any lettuce we ever tried before." LOUIS A. STEB1N , St. Louis, Mo. 



'The Mignonette we find the best lettuce we ever raised— small, but such 



tender, crisp, blanched heads." Mrs. 



CRAIK, Wardner. Idaho.

COS LETTUCE, 

 EXPRESS 



The most crisp and tender of 

 all Lettuces. Thriving in hot 

 weather and slow to run to seed. 

 It forms tall, elongated heads, 

 requiring no tying, thus being 

 entirely distinct from any other 

 Cos. It is midway between 

 White Cos and Green in color. Its 

 form is much more compact than 

 any other Cos, being dwarf er, and 

 heading without any artificial aid, 

 and absolutely self-folding in char- 

 acter. It has stood the intense and 

 tryingtemperature of our summers 

 with remarkable success without 

 showing any sign of wilting or 

 burning. The midrib and veins 

 are unusually small, so that every 

 leaf is edible throughout. It is 

 also valuable for forcing. We can 

 strongly recommend it for an all- 

 round Cos or Romaine Lettuce.

' ' Your Express Cos Lettuce was the finest 

 J ever saw; every plant was a solid hind. 

 and quality superfine." — C. C. MURPHY, 

 9th and 11 Sis, Washington D. C. 



SALAMANDER LETTUCE 



A SPLENDID EARLY SUMMER 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 erf 

 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. I lb., $2.00 lb. 



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

 Iwith standing the hot, dry weather in June." WM. C. KIDDER, Sea Girt. .V. J
