A GRAND, new, large, early head Lettuce. E\-ery plant 

 uniformly perfect, about 10 inches across, and nearly 

 all head with but few outside leaves. The large 

 round heads are compactly formed of waxy-cream 

 colored heart leaves of splendid substance and of 

 extra fine quality, tender, crisp, succulent and sweet 

 attractive and appetizing when served. Tenderheart 

 is not only a very early and hardy Lettuce, but it 

 stands early summer heat splendidly, and does not 

 bolt to seed for two weeks after it is fully headed 

 up. Color of the outside leaves pale green, slight- 

 ly tinged reddish-brown. {See cut.) Price, 10c.

" Your Tenderheart Lettuce is the finest and handsomest 

 lettuce for its heading and eating qualities that I have ever raised 

 or seen. I sowed the seed in March and cut extra large heads 

 the second Sunday in May." J. F. HYNDS. Cloar, Ark.

NEW YORK 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 weighing enormously. The interior is beautifully 

 , blanched, creamy-white, crisp tender and delicious, being 

 absolutely free from any trace of bitterness. 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 tr^nng con- 

 ditions. The outer color is of a distinct apple-green. We intro- 

 duced this variety a number of years ago, and it has been 

 extensively grown by our customers 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. }4lh., $2.25 lb. 



"Allow me to praise your Sew York Lettuce. I planted half of the packet and 

 raised 303 heads of the finest salad. Some IS inches across and when cut looked like 

 Cabbage. I shall always use it." EDGAR KEN LING. Perth Amboy, N. J. 



Golden Queen Lettuce e^^'^IZc. 



AV'ERY 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 juicy. We recom- 

 mrnd it highly. 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 

 80c. Yi lb., $2.50 lb. 



"Golden Queen far surpasses all other lettuce 

 in our climate. Crown in the open garden it 

 becomes blanched and tender with those delicious 

 hearts like greenhouse forced lettuce. "

HENDERSON'S 



cos OR CELERY LETTUCE 



"TKIANON" 



EXCELS all other Lettuces in qual- 

 ity, having a crispness, tender- 

 ness and flavor peculiarly its 

 own and unapproached by any other 

 variety. The heads are long and con- 

 ical. The leaves require to be tied up 

 when they soon form solid heads and 

 quickly bleach to snowy whiteness 

 and become as stiff, crisp and sweet 

 as Celery stalks, and are delicious 

 when eaten in the same manner or 

 prepared for salad. {Sec cut on

" / lake this opportunity of praising Trianon 

 Cos Lettuce. It is superb — one is large enough. 

 for a small family."
