HENDERSON'S 



Mignonette Lettuce 



: : A Delicious First-Early : : 



A splendid little quality Lettuce. The solid heads blanch 

 creamy- white, are tender, crisp, and as sweet as — well — 

 Mignonette Lettuce, for none other in quality quite equals 

 it. Another feature is its hardiness, for early spring plant- 

 ing, cold-frame culture, or growing out during the winter in 

 the Southern States; it heads quickly and surely, and, in 

 consequence, may be had very early ; moreover, it is a first- 

 rate summer lettuce, slow to bolt to seed. It is a compact- 

 growing variety, the plants spread only about seven inches, 

 enabling them to be closely planted. The outer leaves are 

 bronzy green and russet, but the interior is beautifully white 

 and inviting. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. 34 

 lb., $2.50 lb. 



"We tried your Mignonette Lettuce last year and found it the best variety 

 we ever raised, it forms such tender, crisp heads. " 



Mrs. J. W. CRAIK.Wardner, Idaho. 

 " Your Mignonette Lettuce was a revelation to our family. It surpasses in 

 quality any Lettuce we ever tried before." 



LOUIS A. STEBIN. St. Louis, Mo. 



Golden Queen Lettuce eIS pS^ce 



A very desirable, first early variety, of a pleasing golden-yellow 

 color, and second to none for forcing. At first glance it seems to 

 be of medium size, 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. It is very crisp, tender and [juicv. We recom- 

 mend it highly. 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. K lb., $2.50 lb. 



Salamander Lettuce 



Perfected 



Early Variety 



Lettuces naturally thrive better during the cooler weather of 

 spring and fall than in a torrid summer — the season really when 

 such crisp, cooling salad is most enjoyable and in great demand; 

 consequently there has been bred a number of heat-resisting 

 or summer lettuces, among which our Perfected Salamander is 

 the acknowledged leader. It forms good-sized, compact and 

 tender heads, creamy-white inside and of that desirable rich 

 buttery flavor ; outer color, light green ; it remains long in head 

 without running to seed, and stands a great amount of heat 

 without burning. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 65c. 

 i 4 lb., $2.00 lb. 



" Last spring I ordered your Salamander Lettuce and must say it was most 

 satisfactory notwithstanding the hot, dry weatlter in June.' ' 



WM. C. KIDDER, Sea Girt, .V. J.
