HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 



Salamander Lettuce 



A SPLENDID SUMiMER VARIETY 



Salamander is one of the few varieties that will head well during 

 hot weather. If the instructions given in our paniphlet on "Let- 

 tuce Culture" are followed, success is assured with Salamander. 

 It will grow equally well as an earlier crop, but is excelled by others 

 for fall use. It forms a good sized, compact head, creamy-white in 

 color, and has all the rich flavor of the "butter" Lettuce. (See 

 engravmg.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. H lb., $2.50 lb. 



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

 satisfactory notwithstanding the hot, dry weather in June."

HENDERSON'S 



Tenderheart Lettuce 



A succulent, early head Lettuce. Every plant is 



uniformly perfect, nearly all head, with few outside 



leaves and most attractive in appearance. The 



heads are compactly formed of densely packed 



cream-colored heart leaves of fine quality, tender, 



crisp, and sweet. It is not only very early and hardy 



but stands early summer heat well, and though it does 



not bolt to seed for two weeks after heading we do not 



recommend it for use during very hot weather. (See 



engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. }i lb., $2.50 lb. 



HENDERSON'S 



Grand Rapids Lettuce 



THE GREAT LETTUCE OF THE GREAT WEST INDOORS OR OUT 

 THE EASIEST OF ALL TO GROW 



This is probably the best of the loose-leaved varieties. It forms no head, but 

 produces an abundant crop of pale green leaves, slightly but closely crumpled, 

 which, even when old, retain their characteristic sweetness and brittle character. 

 In this respect it excels many of the best heading varieties. Moreover, the flavor 

 even of the outside leaves is fully equal to that of the heart leaves of many head- 

 ing varieties. 



In the Middle West, and in many other sections, it is extremely popular. We 

 strongly urge those who cannot succeed in getting Lettuce to head to grow Grand 

 Rapids. The plant may be cut whole, or the outside leaves may be removed, 

 leaving the younger ones to grow. The lower leaves grow clear of the ground so 

 that it rarely suffers from rot, and is therefore morelargely grown for forcing than 

 any other sort. (See engraving.) Price, 5c. pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. I4 lb., $1.75 lb.

HENDERSON'S 



"ROMAINE" or Cos Lettuce TRIANON 



(SEE COLORED PLATE AND DESCRIPTION ON PAGE 6) 



Trianon is by far the best of the Cos, or Romaine, varieties. These are be- 

 coming very popular; they have a distinct and pleasing flavor. The long, spoon- 

 shaped leaves form oval-shaped heads, and are easily blanched by gathering the 

 outer leaves at the top and loosely tying them with soft string several days 

 before wanted for the table. Price, lOc. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. I4 lb., $2.50 lb.
