Grand Rapids Lettuce. 



The Best and Most Popular Loose-Leaved 

 Lettuce.

 heat better. It will produce good lettuce when it is scarcest 

 on the market, and will prove one of the most profitable crops. 

 Our stock is as nearly perfect as possible, and we confidently 

 recommend it. (See engraving.) Price, 15c. oz., 45c. | lb., $1.50 lb.

ERNEST WESTON. Newport. R. 1 . 



Grand Rapids is perhaps more largely grown 

 than any other variety, and may be seen in 

 every store in the country. 



It is invaluable for forcing, where, owing to its 

 habit of growth, all its leaves are carried well 

 above the soil, which enables it to resist rust 

 and rot better than any other sort. It succeeds 

 well under glass. It is grown in enormous 

 quantities in the open ground, and is used through- 

 out the growing season with profitable results. 

 We have been exceedingly careful to secure 

 only the best stock, which will be found remark- 

 able in its uniformity. {See engraving.) 



Price, 15c. oz., 45c. J lb., $1.40 lb. 



HENDERSON'S 



New Tenderheart Lettuce. 



This is similar to the old Boston Market in 

 general appearance, but is superior to it in every 

 way. The plant is of the same size, but the head 

 proper is much larger, and it has fewer outside 

 leaves. Its value to the market gardener lies in 

 its remarkable uniformity, every plant coming true 

 to type, and in its ability to stand after maturity without going 

 to seed. It has the bright attractive color of Salamander, 

 though the outer leaves are a shade darker. It is without 

 doubt the best first early market lettuce. 

 Price, 20c. oz., 60c. | lb., $2.00 lb. 



"I send my testimony of the merit of youi Tendeihearl Lettuce. It succeeded 

 beyond my expectations. The finest lettuce I ever grew."
