IT IS PRAISED BY ALL GROWERS 



"While I am not in the habit of writing testimonials, I cannot refrain 

 from telling you of the great success I had with Henderson's Big Boston 

 Lettuce this season. I am only an amateur gardener, but owing to mul- 

 tiplicity of plants I got from the seedlings I was compelled to sell some of 

 the head lettuce to keep it from wasting and I received 15c per head for it at 

 the greengrocer's. Some of the heads measured 22 inches in circumference 

 by 14 inches in height. FRED G. BUNNELL, Toms River, N. J. 

 July 25, 1917. 



"Lettuce grown from your Big 

 as a cabbage.'*

"People around here had never seen such beautiful heads of Lettuce as 

 we grew from your Big Boston. 

 April 4, 1917. WILLIAM SCHMIDT, Kenosha, Wis. 



"I am so well pleased with your Big Boston Lettuce that I am sending 



you another order. 



March 26, 1917. Mrs. W. H. VEEDER, Sandwich, Mass. 



"I planted some of your Big Boston Lettuce seed in the early Spring, and 

 have never before seen such wonderful heads of fine crisp lettuce.". 



Miss HELEN G. STINER, Croton-on-Hudson, N. Y. 



"I plant Henderson's Big Boston Lettuce seed every year. It never dis- 

 appoints." Mrs. MARY P. JONES, Wall St., Kingston, N. Y. 



"I raised a very excellent garden with your seeds last year. Especially I 

 wish to praise Henderson's Big Boston Lettuce. I had very good lettuce, 

 even in the hottest weather." 



E. N. MORRISON, Garfield St., Kansas City, Kans. 



"I have never before tasted such wonderful head lettuce as mine grown from 

 Henderson's Big Boston seed. All my friends say they never tasted anything 

 quite so tender and crisp." 



Miss S. McKUSICK, Stillwater, Minn. 



Boston seed grew perfectly and as large

HENDERSON'S 



Big Boston Lettuce 



A GRAND, LARGE, CABBAGE LETTUCE 

 Big, Compact, Tender and Crisp, Creamy- White Heads 



This grand variety, introduced into cultivation by us several years ago, 

 has proved to be most valuable, steadily gaining in popularity until it is 

 now more extensively grown than any other kind of Lettuce, either for the 

 private table or for sale, North, South, East or West; whether grown in 

 the open ground for early summer and fall use, in frames for spring, or 

 forced cool in greenhouses for winter use. It invariably gives both 

 grower and user the utmost satisfaction, producing, under ordinarily 

 favorable conditions, splendid, large, creamy-white heads, packed with 

 thoroughly blanched leaves, crisp, tender and sweet, delighting both the 

 palate and the eye. This grand variety makes a handsome plant, with 

 but few outside leaves, and stands long before bolting to seed. Big 

 Boston is one of the best large-heading Lettuces, and, while it succeeds 

 at all seasons, except during the very hottest months, it is peculiarly 

 adapted for late fall culture. Large areas of it may be seen in the vicinity 

 of New York as late as Nov. 15th; a slight covering of salt marsh hay 

 amply protecting the plants from hard frosts, which when cut for market 

 are as fresh, bright and untinged as at any season. Thousands of acres 

 of it are grown during the winter in Florida and other Southern States 

 for shipping to Northern markets; in every State it is wonderfully popu- 

 lar; in fact, we know of no other variety that gives such general satisfac- 

 tion under such varying conditions. As many of our customers have 

 said: "It is the best Head Lettuce on earth." (See engraving.) Price, 

 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 75c. J4 lb., $2.50 lb.
