" Your Romaine Lettuce, Trianon, 

 beats out the weeds and grows well on a 

 clay soil. It is all eatable." 



E. H. STEWART, 



Silver Creek, N. Y. 



"I had fine lack with Henderson's 

 Trianon Cos Lettuce, in spite of the bad 

 weather: many of them weigh 2 lbs., of 

 solid white lettuce." 



J. DAVID, Winsted, Conn. 



ROMAINE 



HENDERSON'S 



OR COS LETTUCE 



TRIANON 



Trianon is by far the best of the Cos, or Romaine, varieties. These are becoming 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. Romaine Lettuce may be used to advantage wheie the 

 heading*varieties do not succeed, as almost the entire plant is tender and palatable. Price, ioc. pkt., 

 25c oz., 75c. 34 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 heading 

 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 more largely grown for forcing than 

 any other sort. (See engraving.) Price, ioc 

 pkt., 35c. oz., $1.20 M lb., $4.00 lb.
