Henderson's Mignonette Lettuce 



A DELICIOUS FIRST EARLY. ONCE TASTED ALWAYS WANTED 



A little gem of 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, Mignon- 

 ette Lettuce. It is extremely hardy, and is the best 

 sort for early spring use, for cold frame culture, or 

 for an outdoor winter crop in the Southern States. 

 It is very early and heads quickly and surely. 

 Being slow to go to seed it is sometimes used as 

 a summer variety, though it does not stand 

 extreme heat so well as some sorts. The 

 diminutive plant permits it to be set as 

 closely as five inches apart; an obvious 

 advantage to many. (See engraving.) 

 Price, ioc. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. M lb., 

 $3.00 lb.
