Early Variety LC 1 I UUt 



Lettuces naturally thrive better 

 during the cooler weather of spring 

 and fall than in a torrid summer — 

 the season really when such crisp, 

 cooling salad is most enjoyable and 

 in great demand; consequently there 

 has been bred a number of heat- 

 resisting or summer lettuces, among 

 which our Perfected Salamander is 

 the acknowledged leader. It forms 

 good-sized, compact and tender 

 heads, creamy-white inside and of 

 that desirable rich buttery flavor; 

 outer color, light green ; it remains 

 long in head without running to 

 seed, and stands a great amount of 

 heat without burning. (See cut.)

 $2.00 lb. 



" Last spring I ordered your Salamander 

 Lettuce and must say it was most satisfactory 

 notwithstanding the hot, dry weather in I tine ' '

HENDERSON'S 



MIGNONETTE LETTUCE, 



:: :: A Delicious First>Early. :: :: 



A splendid little quality Lettuce. The solid heads blanch creamy- 

 white, are tender, crisp, and as sweet as — well — Mignonette Lettuce, for 

 none other in quality quite equals it. Another feature is its hardiness, 

 for early spring planting, cold-frame culture, or growing out during the 

 winter in the Southern States; it heads quickly and surely, and, in con- 

 sequence, may be had very early ; moreover, it is a first-rate summer 

 lettuce, slow to bolt to seed. It is a compact-growing variety, the 

 plants spread only about seven inches, enabling them to be closely 

 planted. The outer leaves are bronzy green and russet, but the inter- 

 ior is beautifullv white and inviting. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c 

 oz., 75c. }i lb., $2.50 lb. 



' '/ have planted Mignonette Lettuce in my garden for a number of years and have it under 

 glass all winter. It looks beautiful when served on the table; a nice, crisp variety." 



CHAS. S. CASH, Salem, X. Y. 



. "/ take this opportunity of praising Trianon Cos Lettuce. It is superb — one 

 ts large enough for a small family."

Excels all other Lettuces in quality, having a crispness, tender- 

 ness and flavor peculiarly its own and unapproached by any other 

 variety. The heads are long and conical. The leaves require to 

 be tied up, when they soon form solid heads and quickly bleach to 

 snowy whiteness and become as stiff, crisp and - 

 stalks, and are delicious when eaten in the same manner or pre- 

 pared for salad. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. hi lb.. 

 $1.75 lb.
