Immense Heads as Solid as a SEBDAES: Blanches Bese Crisp, Tender and Free from Bitterness. 
520. The King of Main Crop Head 
Lettuces. It produces immense heads, 
often 10 and 12 inches across, and 
weighing enormously. The interior is 
beautifully blanched, creamy - white, 
crisp, tender and delicious, being abso- 
_lutely free from any trace of bitter- 
ness. It is a very large, robust grow- 
ing variety, rooting deeply, resisting 
hot, dry weather, very slow to run to 
seed and a sure header under most 
trying conditions. The outer color is 
of a distinct apple green. We intro- 
duced this variety a number of years 
ago, and it has been extensively grown 
by our customers in almost all sections 
of the country and from whom we re- 
ceive. most gratifying reports. AS a 
standard main summer crop, hot 
weather Lettuce, it is in every way 
desirable and has no equal, but is not 
recommended for forcing. (See engrav- 
ing.) Price, l5e. pkt., 40c. oz, $1.20

Important Notice Regarding 
Henderson’s New York Lettuce 
This lettuce was introduced by Peter 
Henderson & Co. in 1886, and the seed 
has been sold by us continuously ever 
since. 
During the past few years growers 
have been shipping to the principal 
markets of the country vast quantities 
of New York Lettuce under the name of 
Ieeberg. All of this has been grown 
from seed of Henderson’s New York 
which is the true name of the variety. 
For other varieties of 
Lettuce, see pages 73 
and 74, 
HENDERSON’S 
Early Butternut Lettuce 
Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co., in 1923 
The Most Delicious of the Butterhead Type 
Valuable for Forcing 
Earliest Head Lettuce for Growing in the Garden 
499. Henderson’s New Butternut Lettuce is particu- 
larly valuable because of its excellence for forcing 
in the hot bed or cold frame. Many growers have 
experienced difficulty in forcing Lettuce in frames 
on account of mildew and other fungus diseases. 
Our trials have proven that Henderson’s Early 
Butternut Lettuce is less susceptible to this fault 
than any other sort. 
For a garden crop, Henderson’s Early Butter- 
nut Lettuee is a valuable acquisition on account 
of its earliness, being from 5 to 6 days earlier 
than any other of the heading sorts. It is of the 
popular butterhead type, forming medium-sized 
heads, which are very compact, and of a creamy- 
white color. It has few outer leaves, being all 
head, which allows closer planting. (See engrave
