 yellow in color, very tender

sturdy, all-

 low, tender and crisp ; outside leaves tinged rus- 

 set. It is very early, hardy, long-standing, and 

 fine for late fall crops in cold frames.

Salamander, Henderson's Per- 

 fected. The standard summer lettuce. There 

 is no variety which stands heat bet-

 most profitable crops. Our stock is as nearly per- 

 fect as possible, and we confidently recommend 

 it. Price, oz. 25c, H lb. 75c, lb. $2.00.

Henderson's Special Stock of 



Grand Rapids 



The Most Dependable Lettuce for Forcing. 

 The Easiest of All to Grow. 



Henderson's Grand Rapids is a well-known variety, and the 

 best of the loose-leaved lettuces. Our special stock of seed is 

 very superior, producing plants of beautiful appearance having 

 bright green leaves crimped at the edges; crisp 

 and tender and free from the tendency to rot 

 observed in some varieties. Henderson's Grand 

 Rapids matures quickly, is of large size, and 

 undoubtedly the best lettuce for forcing pur- 

 poses and growing under glass, as the very ex- 

 tensive use of it by market growers amply 

 proves. (See engraving.) Price, oz. 20c, 

 M lb. 60c, lb. $1.75.

r loose 



heads of curly golden-yellow leaves; which are

 frames and the open ground.
