Henderson's Mignonette 



Introduced by Peter Henderson A Co. in J 895 



A First Early, All Heart, Delicious Gem- 

 Ideal for the Home Garden 



C1Q A delicious gem of a lettuce that only the home gardener 

 can enfoy. It cannot be bought on the market, as market 

 gardeners would not consider it profitable on account of its small 

 size. However, for the home gardener who demands quality above 

 all else, Henderson's Mignonette is the ideal sort for him to grow. 

 Customers have told us that the place occupied by Golden Bantam 

 among Sweet Corns, is destined for Henderson's Mignonette in the 

 lettuce family. It is a deliciously sweet flavored tender morsel 

 with that creamy-white melt-in-your-mouth appearancs, that is 

 bound to revitalize jaded appetites especially during the torrid 

 nays of midsummer. The outer leaves have a bronzed appearance 

 It is extremely hardy, and is the best sort for early spring use 

 for cold frame culture or for an outdoor winter crop in the Southern 

 States. It is very early and heads quickly and surely, being slow 

 to go to seed. The diminutive plant permits it to be set as closely 

 as 5 inches apart; an obvious advantage to many. {See illustra- 

 tion.) Price, pkt. 15c.; oz. 40c.; M lb. $1.20, lb. $4.00; 

 transportation paid. 



"1 want to tell you what a success I had with your Mignonette

 to seed. It is the best of them alt."— JAMES T. WOODWARD

 Crisp and Buttery 



COO This is a new variety, and has proved to be a very 

 valuable acquisition to the Lettuce family. It is 

 very early in the maturing, being fit for use about the same 

 time as Henderson's Big Boston, which it resembles some- 

 what in appearance and in the size of the head. Henderson's 

 Unrivaled Lettuce is aple green in color, shading to creamy- 

 white at the center of the head, which is formed of closely 

 wrapped crisp leaves, giving it great compactness of form.

 will become a prime favorite. (See illustration.)
