HENDERSON'S 



NEW YOP.K 

 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 weigh- 

 ing enormously. The interior is 

 beautifully blanched, creamy-white, 

 crisp, tender and delicious, being 

 absolutely free from any trace of bit- 

 terness. 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 cus- 

 tomers 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 recommended for forcing. 

 (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. H lb., $2.25 lb.

 the hot. dry weather — beat any I ever had." 



G. H. HITCHCOCK. Manilus. N. Y. 



"■■illow me to praise your New York Lettuce. I planted half of the packet and 

 raised SV3 heads of the finest salad. Some 18 inches across and when cut looked like 

 Cabbage. I shall always use it." EDGAR KENLING, Perth Ambov. N. J.

 for two weeks after it is fully headed up. Color of the outside 

 leaves pale green, slightly tinged reddish-brown. (See cut.)
