HENDERSON'S NEW 



Tenderheart Lettuce. 



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 substance and of extra fine 

 quality, tender, crisp, succulent and sweet: attrac- 

 tive 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, slightlv tinged reddish-brown. (See cut.) 

 Pries, i5c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 J lb., $4.00 lb. 



"Your Tenderheart Lettuce succeeded beyond my expecta- 

 tions. Such solid, crisp, lender heads without any bitterness."

HENDERSON'S 



NEW YORK LETTUCE 



THE KING OF MAIN 

 CROP HEAD LETTUCES 



IMMENSE HEADS AS SOLID AS A CABBAGE 



Blanches Beautifully; Crisp, 

 Tender and free from Bitterness 



IT produces immense heads, often 15 and 16 inches across, and weighing 

 enormously. The interior is beautifully blanched, creamy- white, crisp, 

 tender and delicious, being absolutely free from any trace of bitterness. 

 It is a very large, robust-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 extensively grown by 

 our customers in almost all sections of the country, from whom we receive 

 most gratifying reports. As a standard main summer crop, hot-weather 

 Lettuce it is in every way desirable and has no equal, but is not recom- 

 mended for forcing. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 65c. \ lb., $2.00 lb. 



" Raised New York Lettuce this spring. It is the finest I ever

 admiration of alt who saw them." 



Mrs. W. B. DANIEL, Eastman, Ga. 



"Henderson's New York Lettuce is the finest I ever ate." 



G. D. LAMBERTON, Dalton, Mass. 



"In all my 40 years' experience in gardening I never raised 

 such lettuce as your New York. Monstrous heads, tender, sweet 

 and juicy, and a rapid grower. We think it has no peer in the 

 lettuce family." T. W. SPENCER, Highland Park, III. 



All Seasons Lettuce. 



THIS variety is very popular 

 where known, and deservedly , 

 for it is one of the best of the 

 "Butterhead" lettuces. It is medium 

 to large in size and of attractive 

 appearance, having broad pale green 

 leaves and a large, round, compactly 

 formed head of delicious quality, 

 crisp and of that buttery character 

 so much liked. Even the outer leaves 

 may be eaten with relish. As im- 

 plied by its name it may be grown 

 in the open, spring, summer or fall. 

 It is a great heat resisler, preserving 

 its' freshness under trying conditions, 

 and is slow in bolting to seed. Price, 

 10c. pkt,, 25c. oz., 75c. J lb., $2.00 lb.
