10 PETER HENDERSON & 0O.—NEW YORK. 
New Lettuce, 
“BIG BOSTON.” 
This variety is identical in color, shape and general 
appearance with the famous Boston Market Lettuce, but 
is double the size. It is about one week later in matur- 
ing, but its solidity and greater size of head will make 
it a most valuable sort. A most desirable variety either 
for forcing in cold frames or open ground planting: 
This variety, though similar in appearance, is quite 
distinct from Boston Market, and being much larger 
should not be forced in such nigh temperature by 15 to 
20 degrees as the Boston Market or other small forcing 
varieties. The ‘‘ Big Boston” is sure to be wanted by 
market gardeners and truckers, because it always pro- 
duces large, salable heads, and it will commend itself to 
amateurs because it heads up well at all*seasons of the 
year and is of crisp tender quality. (See cut.) 10c. 
pkt.; 25c. 0z.; 60c. 4% 1b.; $2.00 Ib.

“BIG BOSTON” LETTUCE. 
Henderson’s Famous 
“Newport” 
Musk Melon. 
The highest-flavored, most luscious green- 
fleshed variety grown, and remarkably early. 
Es VERY person who tastes our Newport 
Musk Melon goes into ecstasies over 
its rich aromatic flavor, and it cer- 
tainly is, we think, the most delicious of all 
the green-fleshed sorts, and as a class the 
green-fleshed musk melons are more highly 
flavored thun the red-fleshed. The Newport 
is a very early melon, ripening with the 
Jenny Lind, which it somewhat resembles. 
The fruits are deep and almost round, with 
a dull green exterior, changing as they ripen 
to a rich golden color, evenly and closely 
netted. The ribs are quite shallow. The 
flesh is of exquisite texture. rich and melt- 
ing, clear to the rind. It is a bountiful 
yielder, though the melons are not large. 
There is no better shipper on the market, 
which combiped with its grand quality 
makes it specially valuable to truckers.
