HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 



Salamander Lettuce 



A SPLENDID SUMMER. VARIETY 



Salamander is one of the few varieties that will head 

 well during hot weather. If the instructions given in our 

 pamphlet on "Lettuce Culture" are followed, success is 

 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 "butter" Lettuce. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt, 25c. oz., 65c. 1 4 ' lb., $2.00 lb. 



"Last spring I ordered your Salamander Lettuce and must say it 

 was most satisfactory notwithstanding the hot, dry weather in June." 

 WM. C. KIDDER, Sea Girt, N. J. 



HENDERSON'S 



MIGNONETTE LETTUCE 



TENDER, CRISP, VERY SOLID— A DELICIOUS FIRST EARLY 



A little gem of a Lettuce, perfect in quality, with russet-green outer leaves. 

 It is wonderfully solid and emphatically superior in this respect, to any va- 

 riety grown. The plant is so small, that it may be planted very much closer 

 than any other sort, and is practically all head. It is extremely early and is 

 so hardy that it may be used to equal advantage for the latest crops. It is 

 used very largely for sowing in early August, for use during late fall and is 

 admirably adapted for all seasons, except during extreme heat, when others 

 grow better. Sown in September and carried over winter in cold frames, it gives 

 a valuable crop in April. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. }± lb., $2.50 lb. 



"/ have tried a great many different kinds of Lettuce, making a specialty of producing grand 

 Lettuces, but your Mignonette Lettuce for crisp, cool, sweet taste, is the best I ever raised." 



L. L. RHODES, Siroudsburg, Pa.
