OF FOUR BEST 

 ...HEAD 



LETTIJGE 



GOLDEN QUEEN. ™"^%™|^-i^,„,eTTCCE, 



A very desirable early variety, of a most pleasing golden- 

 yellow color, and second to none for forcing. It i3 on© of 

 Khe most deceptive varieties we have ever seen, as at first 

 glance it seems to be of medium size, but it forms all solid 

 heads, with little or no waste, so that there Is really more to 

 it than in many Lettuces double the size. It Is very crisp, 

 tender and juicy. We cannot recommend it too highly. 

 (-SVe cut.) 10c. pkt., 25c. oz. 



which, if planted at one time, will give a long succession, 

 the "Golden Queen" being the earliest, "Perfected Sala- 

 mander" following; then conies "Big Boston," and then 



\ for main and late crop comes that grand variety, "Hender- 



?* son's New York." 



SPECIAL OFFER. 



We will supply 1 pkt. of each of these for 30c.

j^pjENDERSON'S- 



PERFECTED SALAMANDER. 



THE BEST MEDIUM EARLY HEAD LETTUCE. 



One of the best for summer use, forming good- 

 sized, compact heads. Color, light green outside and 

 white inside. It will remain longer in head and stand 

 a greater amount of heat without burning or running 

 to seed than any other variety. In the Southern 

 States it is invaluable. We recommend it to all. {3ee 

 cut.) 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 65c. 34 lb., $2.00 lb. 



3IG BOSTON. THE BEST MIDSEASON HEAD LETTUCE. 



Identical in color, shape and general appearance with the 

 famous Boston Market, but is double the size. It is about one 

 week later, but its solidity and greater size make it a most 

 valuable sort. Most desirable either for forcing in cold frames 

 or open-ground planting. Popular with market gardeners and 

 truckers, because it always produces large, solid, salable heads, 

 and commends itself to amateurs, because it heads up at all 

 seasons of the year, and is of crisp, tender quality. (See cut.) 

 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 65c. y^ lb., $2.00 lb. 



HENDERSON'S "NEW YORK " The Best Main Crop Head Lettuce and 

 1 1 '— The King of all Garden Lettuce. . . . 



It is of unusual size and solidity of head, with but little ten- 

 dency to run to seed. We have had it, time and again, 18 inches 

 in diameter, and weighingnearly four pounds, with heads almost 

 as solid as an Early Summer Cabbage. 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.
