LETTUCE 



CURLED OR LOOSE 

 HEADED VARIETIES 



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 extensive use of it 

 by market growers amply proves.

 do not succeed, as almost 

 the entire plant is tender
