Henderson's Perfected 



Salamander Lettuce 



A Splendid Second'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- 

 resistingorsummer 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. 34 lb., 

 $2.00 lb. 



" Lt.ist spring I ordered your Salamander 

 ■•:iuce and must say it was most satisfactory 

 '.withstanding the hot, dry weather in June.' '

HENDERSON'S 



Mignonette Lettuce 



: : A Delicious First'Early : : 



A splendid 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 earl 3^ spring plant- 

 ing, coldframe 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. I4 

 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.' '
