HENDERSON'S NEW 



T ENDERHEART I ETTUCE. 



A grand, new, large, early head Lettuce. Every 

 plant uniformly perfect, about 10 inches across, 

 and nearly all head with but few outside leaves. 

 The large round heads are compactly formed of 

 waxy-cream colored heart leaves of splendid sub- 

 stance and of extra fine quality, tender, crisp, succu- 

 lent and sweet ; attractive and appetizing when 

 served. Tenderheart is not only a very early and 

 hardy Lettuce, but it stands early summer heat 

 splendidly, and does not bolt to seed for two weeks 

 after it is fully headed up. Color of the outside 

 leaves pale green, slightly tinged reddish-brown.

 New Lettuce, 



Immensity. 



The Largest Head Lettuce in the World! Often 



4 to 5 feet in circumference. A luxuriant grower, 



consequently tender, sweet and crisp.^^^ 



A gigantic Lettuce, with an enormous, solid head. 

 The plant is fully 18 inches in diameter, while the 

 head proper is proportionately large. It is one of 

 the slowest to run to seed that we have ever seen, 

 and maintains that crispness 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 absolutely reliable for a late crop at a season 

 when other varieties are hard to procure.

It produces immense heads,

 creamy-white, crisp, tender 

 and delicious, being absolutely 

 free from any trace of bitter-

 bust-growing variety, rooting 

 deeply, resisting hot, dry 

 weather, very slow 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
