LETTUCE 



CURLED OR LOOSE LEAVED 

 VARIETIES 



This type does not form compact heads but 

 large masses of curly, crisp leaves. 



Henderson's Special Stock of 



Grand Rapids 



The Most Dependable Lettuce for Forcing. 

 The Easiest of All to Grow. 



Henderson's Grand Rapids is a well known 

 variety, and the best of the cluster-leaved let- 

 tuces. Our special stock of seed is very superior, 

 producing plants of beautiful appearance having 

 bright green leaves crimped at the edges; crisp 

 and tender and free from the tendency to rot 

 observed in some varieties. Henderson's Grand 

 Rapids matures quickly, is of large size, and 

 undoubtedly the best lettuce for forcing purposes 

 and growing under glass, as the very extensive use 

 of it by market growers amply proves. (See 

 engraving.) Price oz. 20c, }i lb. 60c, lb. $2.00. 



Black-Seeded Simpson. , Ver y J ar f e 



loose heads 

 of curly golden-yellow leaves; which are thin and 

 tender. It stands summer heat splendidly. Price, 

 oz. 20c, V* lb. 60c, lb. $2.00. 



Early Curled Simpson. Fo ^ ms . , a compact mass of 



rf yello wish-green, curly leaves; 



earlier than head Lettuces; largely grown in cold frames and the 

 open ground. Price, oz. 20c, }4 lb. 60c, lb. $2.00. 



"The Grand Rapids seed which I obtained from you, produced the best lettuce I have 

 ever grown." 



E. F. QUIEL, Wyandotte, Mich- 

 "The Grand Rapids is a favorite with us." 



A. K. VRADENBURGH, Albany, N. Y. 



LETTUCE 



COS or ROMAINE 



These form large, elongated, compact heads that blanch mild 

 and crisp; esteemed for summer use. 



Trianon Henderson's 



Beautiful Shape — Sells on Sight 



Trianon is by far the best of the Cos, 

 or Romaine, varieties. These are 

 becoming very popular; they have a 

 distinct and pleasing flavor. The 

 long spoon-shaped leaves form oval- 

 shaped heads, and are easily blanched 

 by gathering the outer leaves at the top 

 and loosely tying them with soft 

 string, several days before wanted for 

 the table. Romaine Lettuce may be 

 used to advantage where the heading 

 varieties do not succeed, as almost the 

 entire plant is tender and palatable. 

 (See engraving.) Price, oz. 25c, 

 Mlb. 70c, lb. $2.25. 



"The Trianon and New York Lettuce were 

 good, I had the finest lettuce I ever saw anywhere 

 and everybody that saw them said the same."
