Holyrood Hot=Weather Lettuce 



HANDSOME, TENDER, HEAT-RESISTING. 



The hundreds of letters to- 

 hand from those who tested this 

 new lettuce fully justify our in- 

 troduction of it last year as a won- 

 derful hot-weather variety. All 

 agree that it is the most remark- 

 able heat-resister they have ever 

 grown, standing longer than any 

 other of the rich butter varieties. 

 Heads are large, firm and solid; 

 of the handsome appearance shown 

 in photograph; light green outside, 

 blanching to a beautiful cream- 

 yellow inside; unusually tender 

 and crisp. The most critical market 

 gardener cannot be disappointed 

 in this remarkable lettuce, no matter 

 at what season of the year he may 

 sow it, as its fine appearance and 

 good table qualities ensure it a 

 ready sale.

Fine New Spinach 



Henderson's Long Seasons 



Spinach is generally grown 

 during the winter and spring 

 months, for the reason that the 

 plants quickly run to seed in hot 

 weather. We have, however, in 

 Henderson's Long Seasons a variety which will stand without running to seed and remain in an 

 edible condition even in hot weather, so that this most delicious of" boiling greens" may now be en- 

 joyed in summer as well as during cooler months. It forms a dense rosette of thick, tender and suc- 

 culent, crumpled leaves of intensely dark green color, which retain their freshness for a long period after 

 cutting. It should be sown in the spring, and at monthly intervals for a successional summer supply. 

 Price, pkt., 5c ; oz., 10c; i lb., 15c; lb., 45c, postpaid ; by express or freight, lb., 35c ; 10 lbs., $2.50.
