HENDERSON'S 



HENDERSON'S 



New York Lettuce Mignonette 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 IG 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 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 customers 

 in almost all sections of the country and from whom we 

 receive most gratifying reports. As a standard main sum- 

 mer crop, hot weather Lettuce, it is in every way desirable 

 and has no equal, but is not recommended for forcing.

WORDS OF PRAISE FOR HENDERSON'S NEW YORK LETTUCE 



"Henderson's New York Lettuce is something great. The fittest I ever 

 saw." C. M. HULS.iRT. 



July 23rd, 1915. Ridge .Avenue, Lakewood, N. J. 



"I have never found any Lettuce as satisfactory as Henderson's New York." 

 March 2oth, 1914. Mrs. M. B. WILLI.AMS, Davenport. Iowa. 



" My Lettuce is perfectly grand. I think Henderson's New York Lettuce 

 is the finest I ever saw. The leaves are so thick and lender." 



WM. F. M YERS, Concord Street, Gary, Pa 



"On the Isl of .April I began planting Lettuce and put in eleven of the best 

 advertised varieties for heading, and at this date, July 19th, after a thorough and 

 impartial lest, I have discarded seven of them, leaving Henderson's New York 

 at the head of the list. With me it has proven free from rot, while the smooth- 

 leaved varieties have all shown rot except the Big Boston. New York has 

 an all round solid head of very large size. It is crisp and tender, and 

 simply delicious in flavor, my friends declaring it to be the finest head 

 lettuce they ever tasted.", GEO. H. BR.ACKETT, 



2'id and East B Street, Vancouver, Wash. 



A Delicious First-Early " Once Tasted, Always Wanted " 



A little gem of a Lettuce — perfect in quality, with 

 bronzed, russet-green outer leaves. The solid heads 

 blanch creamy-white, and are tender and ' , - , _ 

 sweet as well as — well, Mignonette 

 Lettuce. It is extremely hardy, 

 and is the best sort for early 

 spring use, for cold frame cul- 

 ture, or for an outdoor winter 

 crop in the Southern States. It -' 



is very early 

 and heads quick- 

 ly and surely. Being 

 slow to go to seed it is 

 sometimes used as a sum- 

 mer variety, though it 

 does not stand extreme 

 heat so well as some 

 sorts. The diminu- 

 tive plant permits it 

 to be set as closely as 

 five inches apart; an 

 » obvious advantage to 

 .many. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 25c. oz., 80c. 1^4 lb., 

 $2.50 lb.
