503. Henderson’s New Romaine 
Lettuce ‘‘Crispycos” is in many 
respects a decided improve- 
ment upon Trianon. Its great- 
est recommendation is that it 
does not readily run to seed, 
and also that it is. one of the 
best varieties for an early crop 
under glass. “Crispycos” is 
undoubtedly a véry fine lettuce 
of good green color with broad 
leaves, folding well in at the 
top, and producing hearts 
erisp and sweet. We will send 
with every order for lettuce 
if requested, our little booklet, 
“Salads Growing and Blanch- 
ing” which instructs in a very 
concise manner the beginner 
in the best methods of grow- 
ing lettuces and other salad 
plants. 
Everybody should try Hen- 
derson’s “Crispycos” Lettuce. 
Price, pkt. 25e., 5 pkts. for $1.00. 
Henderson’s Romaine or Cos Lettuce Trianon 
526. 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 where the heading varieties do not succeed, as almost the entire plant is tender and palatable. (See en- 
graving.) Price, 10¢. pkt., 35e. oz., $1.00 1% Ib., $3.00 lb. 
Henderson’s 
Grand Rapids 
Lettuce 
The Great Lettuce of the Great West 
Indeors or Out the Easiest 
of all to Grow 
508. 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 ex- 
cels many of the best heading varieties. 
Moreover, the fidvor even of the out- 
side 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 foreing than any other sort.
