Henderson's

Immense Heads as Solid as a Cab- 

 bage. Blanches Beautifully. Crisp, 

 Tender and Free from Bitterness 



520. The ICing 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, 15c. pkt., 40c. oz,, $1.20 

 fi lb., $4.00 lb. 



Important Notice Regarding 

 Henderson's New York Lettuce 



This lettuce was introduced by Peter 

 Henderson & Co. in 1886, and the seed 

 lias 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 Iceberg. All of this lias been grown from 

 seed of Henderson's New York which is the true name of the variety. 



Ninety per cent, of the Lettuce used m America is grown from Henderson's Big Boston and New York Varieties. 



Henderson's Perfected 



Salamander 



A Splendid Summer Variety 



522. Salamander is one of the few varieties that wilj 

 head well during hot weather. If the instructions 

 given on lettuce culture in our booklet "Salads, 

 Growing and Blanching," are followed, succe 

 assured with Salamander. 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 "but- 

 ter" Lettuce. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. V 4 lb., $2.50 lb.
