Henderson's Grand Rapids 



LEAF and COS 

 VARIETIES 



The Great Lettuce of the 



Great West. Indoors 



or Out The Easiest 



of All to Grow 



Cf\Q This is probably the 

 OUo best of the loose- 

 leaved varieties. It forms no 

 head, but produces an abun- 

 dant crop of pale green leaves, 

 slightly but closely crumpled, 

 which, even when old, retain 

 their characteristic sweetness 

 and brittle character. In this 

 respect it excels many of the 

 best heading varieties. 



In the Middle West, and 

 in many other sections, it is 

 extremely popular. We 

 strongly urge those who 

 cannot succeed in getting 

 Lettuce to head to grow 

 Grand Rapids. The plant 

 may be cut whole, or the out- 

 side leaves may be removed, 

 leaving the younger ones to 

 grow. It is largely grown for 

 forcing. (See illus ra ion.)

Henderson's New Cos or Romaine Lettuce 



"Crispycos" 



Introduced by Peler Henderson <Sc Co. in 1926) 



The Earliest Romaine in the Garden. The Earliest and Best for 

 Crops Under Glass 



r/\o Romaine, or Cos Lettuces, as they are variously called, have been 

 O\)o great favorites in Europe tor a century; but they never attained 

 much popularity in America until we introduced our variety Trianon a few- 

 years ago. Since that time they have become known to a much larger 

 number of people than before, and therefore much more popular as the 

 appetizing flavor of Romaine is more and more appreciated by salad lovers. 

 Henderson's New Romaine Lettuce "CRISPYCOS" is in many respects 

 a decided improvement upon Trianon. Its great recommendation is that 

 it does not readily run to seed, and also that it is one of the best varieties 

 for an early crop under glass. "Crispycos" is undoubtedly a very fine 

 lettuce of good green color with broad leaves, folding well in at the top, and 

 producing hearts crisp and sweet. Everybody should try Henderson's 

 "Crispycos" Lettuce. (See illustration.) 



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



Henderson's Romaine or Cos Trianon 



C«j/j Trianon is by far the best of the Cos, or Romaine, varieties. These 

 J^O are becoming very popular: they have a distinct and pleasing flavor. 

 The long spoon-shaped leaves form oval-shaped heads, and are easily 

 blanched by gathering the outer leaves at the top and loosely tying them 

 with soft string, several days before wanted for the table. Romaine Lettuce 

 may be used to advantage where the heading varieties do not succeed, as 

 almost the entire plant is tender and palatable. 



Price, pkt. 10c, oz. 35c, V* lb. $1.00, lb. $3.00, transportation paid. 



Henderson's Express Lettuce i 



CiVJ A very early Cos Lettuce of dwarf, compact growth, heading up 

 OKn without tying. The self-folding inner leaves blanch beautifully 

 white, crisp and tender. It stands hot weather splendidly.
