Henderson's Golden Heart Summer 



A Valuable New Salad Plant. Reaches Perfection in Midsummer

 the plant develops the center changes from green to a beautiful creamy- 

 yellow, giving it a most inviting and appetizing appearance, and in 

 fact gives the impression of having been artificially blanched. The 

 leaves, which are crisp and tender, have a delightful nutty flavor that 

 is greatly relished. (See illustration.)

ACQ An excellent salad plant, available long after the season for 

 Lettuce, and more easily grown . The flavor is pleasantly bitter, 

 stimulating and zest-giving. Is used also boiled as greens. 



Green Curled is the best for general use, and is easily blanched by 

 covering the full-grown plants with boards or pieces of slate. Good

 as a fall crop. Successional sowing during July gives a continuous 

 supply after cool weather. (See illustrations.)
