 and has no equal, but is not recommended for forcing. (See illustration

Important Notice Regarding 

 Henderson' a New York Lettuce 

 This Lettuce was introduced by 

 Peter Henderson & Co. in 1886, and 

 the seed has been sold by us con- 

 tinuously ever since. 



During the past few years growers 

 have been shipping to the principal 

 markets of the country vast quan- 

 tities of New York Lettuce under 

 the name of Iceberg. All of this has 

 been grown from seed of Hender- 

 son's New York, which is the true 

 name of the variety. 



Henderson's Perfected 



Salamander 



A Splendid Summer Variety

head well during hot weather If the instru< 

 tions given on lettuce culture in our booklet. "Salad.'- 

 Growing and Blanching " are followed, success is as- 

 sured with Salamander. It will grow equally well as an 

 earlier crop, but is excelled by others for fall use tn

Delicacy" 



Introduced by Peter Henderson s" Co. in 192C 

 A Uniform and Sure Header. Very Slow in Shooting to Seed t 

 A Wonderful Second Early Variety. 



CQ1 Henderson's New Lettuce, Delicacy, is a variation of the Cabbage 

 Butterhead Lettuce section, and among the many improvements 

 noted in it is the very important one of being Slower to go to seed than any 

 other variety. This is, of course, a great claim for us to make: but our tests 

 and experiences with it for four successive seasons under varying climatic con- 

 ditions amply justify us in making the assertion. 



Everyone will agree that another great requisite in a lettuce for private uses 

 is QUALITY first and always. This is a characteristic in a superlative degree 

 of Henderson's New Butterhead Lettuce, DELICACY. Our plant expert 

 who has been working upon it describes it as being a second early lettuce of 

 medium size, with close compact heads, and with outer protecting leaves of a 

 decided bronze color. The inner leaves and the heart are of a delicate creamy 

 yellow, very attractive and alluring. It grows to a uniform size, is a sure- 

 header and we feel that it is a very great acquisition to our list of qualitj 

 lettuces. (See illustration.)

 "I congratulate you on your latest introduction in Ike Lettuce section of your
