Henderson's New York LE TTUCE 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1886 

 Immense Heads as Solid as a Cabbage. Blanches Beautifully. Crisp, Tender and 



Free from Bitterness 

 COA The King of Main Crop Head Lettuces. It produces immense heads, often 

 a "" 10 and 12 inches across, and weighing enormously. The interior is beautifully 

 blanched, creamv-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 and 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 recommended for forcing.

Important Notice Regarding 

 Henderson's New York Lettuce 



This Lettuce was introduced by 

 Peter Henderson & Co. in 1886, and 

 the seed has been sold by us con- 

 tinuously ever since. 



During the past few years growers 

 have been shipping to the principal 

 markets of the country vast quan- 

 tities of New York Lettuce under the 

 name of Iceberg. All of this has been 

 grown from seed of Henderson's New 

 York, which is the true name of the 

 variety. 



H pe£ r c s t°ed ' s Salamander 



A Splendid Summer Variety 



522 Salamander is one of the few varieties 

 that will head well during hot 

 weather. If the instructions given on lettuce 

 culture in our booklet ' 'Salads. Growing and 

 Blanching." 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. 



Price, pkt. 10c.; oz. 30c; V* lb. 90c; 

 lb. $2.50; transportation paid. 



Henderson's Unrivaled 



Succeeds at All Seasons 



Early, Tender, Crisp and Buttery 



528 This is a new variety, and has proved 

 to be a very valuable acquisition to the 

 Lettuce family. It is very' early in the 

 maturing, being fit for use about the same 

 time as Henderson's Big Boston, which it 

 resembles somewhat in appearance and in 

 the size of the head. Henderson's Unrivaled 

 Lettuce is pale green in color, shading to 

 creamy-white at the center of the head, 

 which is formed of closely wrapped crisp 

 leaves, giving it great compactness of form. 

 We highly recommend this sort, feeling con- 

 fident that it will become a prime favorite. 

 Price, pkt. 15c; oz. 30c; V* lb. 90c; 

 lb. $3.00; transportation paid. 



Henderson's New Butterhead Lettuce 



"Delicacy" 



Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. in 1926 

 A Uniform and Sure Header. Very Slow in Shooting to Seed. 



A Wonderful Second Early Variety. 

 501 Henderson's New Lettuce, DELICACY, is a variation of the 

 Cabbage Butterhead Lettuce section, and among the many im- 

 provements noted in it is the very important one of being SLOWER 

 TO GO TO SEED THAN ANY OTHER VARIETY. This is. of course, 

 a great claim for us to make; but our tests and experiences with it for 

 four successive seasons under varying climatic conditions amply justify 

 us in making the assertion. 



Everyone will agree that another great requisite in a lettuce for private 

 uses is QUALITY first and always. This is a characteristic in a super- 

 lative degree of Henderson's New Butterhead Lettuce, DELICACY. 

 Our plant expert who has been working upon it describes it as being a 

 second early lettuce of medium size, with close compact heads, and with 

 outer protecting leaves of a decided bronze color. The inner leaves and 

 the heart are of a delicate creamy yellow, very attractive and alluring. 

 It grows to a uniform size; is a sure-header and we feel that it is a very 

 great acquisition to our list of quality lettuces. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 20c; 3 pkts. for 50c; oz. $1.50; transportation paid. 

 "/ congratulate you on your latest introduction in the Lettuce section of your 

 catalogue. Henderson's Delicacy is certainly the best and finest I ever grew."

 is not fattening. Our booklet "Salads. Growing and Blanching," may be had free on request when ordering.
