Some people 
think of 
Henderson’s 
ew York’’ 
Lettuce. 
“Tcannot help sending you my testimony as to the 
result of the New York Lettuce. Of all the Lettuce 
I ever saw or tasted, I must say this isthe very best. I 
set out quite alarge bed, and 26 heads were all I could 
get ina barrel without hard pressure. I gaveit away to 
anybody and everybody I could, and without an exception 
Summer Lettuce. 
HENDERSON’S «NEW YORK” LETTUCE 
Is of unusual size and solidity of head, with but little tendency to 
run to seed. We have had it, time and again, 18 inches in diame- 
ter, and weighing nearly four pounds, with heads almost as solidas 
an Early Summer Cabbage, which in general form it somewhat re- 
sembles. 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 introduced. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 25¢. oz., 65c.

every one said it was the finest in both size and quality they ever 
saw.” W. W. WEBSTER, Verona, N. J. 
“* Henderson’s New York Lettuce: very fine and crisp. Good heads; I measured some 
of them and they were 15 to 16 inches across. Itis all you claim for it. It looks like a 
cabbage head.” CYRUS WILLIAMS, Minnesota Junction Wis. 
“« We grew Henderson's New York Lettuce that measured over 18 inches across, and every 
one at first sight said they were cabbages.”” W. H. DENHAM, South Superior, Wis. 
“« Thave used ‘ Henderson’s New York Lettuce Seed’ for the past four years, and to my 
taste it stands without a rival among all the different varieties I have tried. I have given the 
seed to different friends for trial, and from one and all comes the same old story, * The best 
I ever tasted’.” EDGAR M. DEXTER, Providence, R. L. 
‘« Your New York Lettuce is something grand. Never saw anything like it in the way 
of lettuce.” JAMES B. LEIGHTON, Glenbrook Farm, Savona, B. C. 
Cos, Romaine, or Celery Lettuce. 
* TRIANON.” This excels all other lettuces in quality, 
having a crispness, tenderness and flavor peculiarly its own 
and unapproached by any other variety. The heads are long and 
conical, often 9 inches high by 18 inches in circumference. The 
long and narrow leaves require to be tied up as shown in the cut, 
when they soon form solid heads and quickly bleach to snowy 
whiteness, and become as 
stiff, crisp and sweet as cel- 
ery stalks, and are delicious 
when eaten in the same man- 
ner or prepared for salad.

LETTUCE. Curled Warieties. 
EARLY CURLED SIMPSON. Forms a close, compact mass of 
curly leaves of ayellowish green. It is earlier than varieties that 
form firm heads, and is thekind thatis planted incoldframesalmost 
exclusively, and itis also largely grown as an early open-airvariety 
between a cabbage crop. 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. 14 Ib., $1.25 1b. 
BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON. Forms large, loose heads of thin 
and exceedingly tender golden yellow leaves ; the best curled vari- 
ety, 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.
