PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— VEGETABLE SEEDS FOR FALL SOWING. 



Mte££ 



NEW LETTUCE. 



IC 



BIG BOSTON 



This variety is identical in color, shape and general appearance with the famous Boston Market Lettuce, but is double the size 

 It is about one week later in maturing, but its solidity and greater size of head will make it a most valuable sort; a most desir- 

 able variety either for forcing or open ground planting. The "Big Boston'' is sure to be wanted bv market gardeners and truckers, 

 because it always produces large, solid, salable heads, and it w'hl commend itself to amateurs because it heads up well at all sea- 

 sons of the year and is of crisp, tender quality. {See cut.) Price, 15c. per pkt. ; 35c. per oz. ; Si. 00 per % lb.; $3.50 per lb. 



NEW FORCING LETTUCE, 



"GOLDEN QUEEN." 



A very desirable small, early variety, of a most pleasing golden yellow color, that shade which is always most desirable in a 

 Lettuce. It is one of the most deceptive varities we have ever seen, as at first glance it seems to be a veritable miniature Lettuce; 

 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. The 



'Golden Queen" Lettuce is very crisp, tender and juicy, and 

 of particularly delicate flavor, even when grown in the open 

 ground, resembling in its tender quality the Boston Market 

 Lettuce, when that variety is forced with artificial heat under 

 glass. Price, 15c. per pkt.: 35c; per oz. ; $1.00 per % lb.; 

 $3.50 per lb. 



This grand variety resembles the \\ hite lipped Scarlet 

 Turnip Radish, but is much earlier, coming to maturity in 22 

 days from the time of sowing and having very small tops, and 

 will prove to be the Radish for forcing purposes. Being very 

 handsome and of fine quality, it is equally desirable for the 

 garden. Price, 10c per pkt ; 20c. per oz.; 60c. per % lb.; 

 $2 00 per 11>.
