522 SALAMANDER (Henderson's Perfected) 



A Splendid Summer Variety 



Salamander is one of the few varieties that will head well during hot weather 

 If the instructions given on lettuce culture in our booklet, "Salads, Growing and 

 Bleaching," are followed, success is assured with Salamander. It will grow 

 equally well as an earlier crop, but is excelled by others for fall use. It forms a 

 good sized, compact head, creamy-white in color, and has all the rich flavor of 

 the "butter" Lettuce. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 2.>c; % lb. 70c; lb. S2.25; transportation paid. 



528 UNRIVALED (Henderson's) 



It is very early in maturing, being fit for use about the same time as Hender- 

 son's Big Boston, which it resembles somewhat in appearance and in the size of 

 the head. Unrivaled is apple green in color, shading to cream y-vi'hite at the center 

 of the head, which is formed of closely wrapped crisp leaves, giving it great com- 

 pactness of form. We highly recommend this sort, feeling confident that it will 

 become a prime favorite. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; M lb. 90c; lb. $2.75; transportation paid. 



HEADING 

 VARIETIES 



LETTUCE 



LEAF VARIETIES 



496 BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON 



The plants forming large, loose masses of curly and crumpled yellow-green 

 leaves, which are very tender, cri.sp and delicious. It stands the summer 

 heat splendidly and is practically everbearing, for as the leaves are picked 

 new leaves will grow. 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; M lb. 70c; lb. $2.25; transportation paid. 



502 EARLY CURLED SIMPSON 



Forms a compact mass of yellowish green, curly leaves; earlier than head 

 Lettuces. 



Price, pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; M lb. 60c; lb. $2.00; transportation paid. 



508 GRAND RAPIDS (Henderson's) 



The Great Lettuce of the Great West. Indoors or Out, the Easiest of All to Grow 



This is probably the best of the loose-leaved varieties. It forms no head, 

 but produces an abundant crop of pale green leaves, slightly but closely 

 crumpled, which, even when old, retain their characteristic sweetness and 

 brittle character. 



We strongly urge those who cannot succeed in getting Lettuce to head 

 to grow Grand Rapids. The plant may be cut whole, or the outside leaves 

 may be removed, leaving the younger ones to grow. It is largely grown for 

 forcing. {See illustration.) 



Price, pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 14, lb. 70c; lb. $2.25; transportation postpaid. 



ROMAINE or COS VARIETIES 



503 "CRISPYCOS" (Henderson's) 



The Earliest Romaine in the Garden. The Earliest and Best for Crops Under Glass 



This is in many respects a decided improvement upon Trianon. Its great 

 recommendation is that it does not readily run to seed, and also that it is one 

 of the best varieties for an early crop under glass. "Crispycos" is undoubt- 

 edly a very fine lettuce of good green color with broad leaves, folding well in 

 at the top, and producing hearts crisp and sweet. Everybody should try 

 Henderson's "Crispycos" Lettuce. 



Price, pkt. 20c; oz. 50c; H lb. $1.50; 

 transportation paid. 



526 TRIANON COS 



(Henderson's) 



The Most Popular Romaine Lettuce 



By far the best of the Cos, or Romaine, 

 varieties. These are becoming very 

 popular; they have a distinct and 

 pleasing flavor. The long spoon- 

 shaped leaves form oval-shaped heads, 

 and are easily blanched by gathering 

 the outer leaves at the top and loosely 

 tying them with soft string, several 

 days before wanted for the table. 

 Romaine Lettuce may be used to 

 advantage where the heading varieties 

 do not succeed, as almost the entire 

 plant is tender and palatable. See 

 colored plate page 30. 



Price, pkt. 15c; oz. 35c; % lb. 95c; 

 lb. $2.75; transportation paid.
