HENDERSON'S 



Tenderheart Lettuce. 



A GRAND, new, large, early head Lettuce. 

 Every plant uniformly perfect, about 10 

 inches across, and nearly all head with but 

 few outside leaves. The large round heads are 

 compactly formed of waxy-cream colored heart 

 leaves of splendid substance and of extra fine 

 quality, tender, crisp, succulent and sweet ; attract- 

 ive and appetizing when served. Tenderheart 

 is not only a very early and hardy Lettuce, but 

 it stands early summer heat splendidly, and does 

 not bolt to seed for two weeks after it is fully 

 headed up. Color of the outside leaves pale 

 green, slightly tinged reddish-brown. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 }± lb., $3.00 lb. 



"/ can not help sending my testimony regarding your Ten- 

 derheart Lettuce. It succeeded beyond my expectations. Every- 

 body considered it the finest lettuce grown." 



B. BARROIS, Jesuits Bend, La. 

 "I must praise your Tenderheart Lettuce. The crisp, tender, 

 blanched heads are like little cabbages, and so delicious." 

 J. R. ROBINSON, Passaic, N. J. 



HENDERSON'S 



New York Lettuce. 



THE KING OF MAIN-CROP HEAD LETTUCES. 

 IMMENSE HEADS AS SOLID AS A CABBAGE. 



BLANCHES BEAUTIFULLY: 

 CRISP. TENDER AND FREE FROM BITTERNESS. 



IT produces immense heads, often 15 and 16 

 inches across, and weighing enormously. The 

 interior is beautifully blanched, creamy-white, 

 crisp, tender and delicious, being absolutely free from any trace of bitterness. 

 It is a very large, robust-growing 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 introduced 

 this variety a number of years ago, and it has been extensively grown by 

 our customers in almost all sections of the country, from whom we receive 

 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 recom- 

 mended for forcing. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 70c. ) 4 ' lb., $2.25 lb. 



"In all my 40 years' experience in gardening, I never raised 

 such lettuce as your New York. Monstrous heads, tender, sweet 

 and juicy, and a rapid grower. We think it has no peer in the 

 lettuce family." T. W. SPEXCER, Highland Park. III. 



"Raised hew York Lettuce this spring; the finest lettuce I ever 

 saw." JOHN M. JOHNSON, jr., Leonardville. X. J. 



"Henderson's New York is the best lettuce I have ever grown." 

 H. H. McCUTCHEON. Azusa, Cal. 



"Your New York Lettuce succeeded beyond my expectations. 

 Some heads were l l ift. across. Solid, tender without bitterness and 

 lasting in season longer than any other lettuce I ever saw." 



M. G. MINSHALL, Thamesville, Ont., Can.
