LETTUCE 
HEADING VARIETIES

small headed variety of the 
butter head type; plants very 
compact, leaves slightly

one of the earliest varieties on

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. (See 
engraving.)

little larger than the regular strain, ex- 
ceptionally uniform and well curled.

variety is very well suited for the first

tender and crisp, and of excellent 
flavor.

COS or ROMAINE | 
VARIETIES 
TRIANON COS Trianon 
is by far the best of the 
self-folding Cos or Romaine 
varieties. The long spoon- 
shaped leaves form oval- 
shaped heads. This lettuce 
may be used to advantage 
where the heading varieties | 
do not succeed, as almost 
the entire plant is tender 
and palatable. (See en-! 
graving.)

Ib. $1.50. l 
Romaine Lettuce 
Trianon Cos -» 
SALAMANDER — (HEN- 
DERSON’S PERFECTED)

when weather is so warm 
that most varieties fail. 
Head globular, heart but- 
tery, of sweet delicate flavor.
