Henderson’s 
Mignonette Lettuce 
A Delicious First Early, Once Tasted, 
Always Wanted, Good to the Heart 
518. A little gem of Lettuce—perfect in quality, with 
bronzed, russet-green outer leaves. The solid heads 
blaneh creamy-white, and are tender and sweet as well. 
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 diminu- 
tive plant permits it to be set as closely as five inches 
apart; an obvious advantage to many. (See engraving.)

Henderson’s Perfected 
Salamander Lettuce 
A Splendid Summer Variety 
0922. Salamander is one of the few varieties that will 
head well during hot weather. If the instructions given 
on lettuce culture in our booklet ‘Salads, Growing and 
Blanching,” are followed, success is assured with Sala- 
mander. 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 engrav- 
ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 30¢. 0z., 90e. % Ib., $2.50 Ib.

528. This is a new variety, and has proved to be a 
_very valuable acquisition to the Lettuce family. It is 
very early in the maturing, being fit for use about the | 
Same time as Henderson’s Big Boston, which it re- 
Sembles somewhat in appearance and in the-size of the | 
head. Henderson’s Unrivaled Lettuce is pale green in | 
color, shading to creamy white at the center of the 
head, which is formed of closely wrapped crispy leaves, 
giving it great compactness of form. We highly recom- | 
mend was sort, feeling Comelentt that it ea become a { 
go! all the Salad Plants grown Lettuce stands pre-eminent because of its blood-enriching and tonic properties.’ Our
