EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Vegetable Seeds 



LETTUCE 



Henderson's Mignonette Henderson's Tenderheart 



A First Early, All Heart, Delicious Gem — Ideal for the Home Garden 



CIO A delicious gem of a lettuce that only the home gardener can enjoy. 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 appearance, that is bound to revitalize jaded appetites especially 

 during the torrid days 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 five inches apart; an obvious advantage to many. (See 

 illustration:) Price, pkt. 15c.; oz. 40c; '/« lb. $1.20; lb. $4.00; transportation 

 paid. 



EJ24 ^ ne heads are compactly formed of densely 

 packed cream-colored heart leaves of fine 

 quality and mild sweet flavor. It is a good all .season 

 variety and stands the heat well. (See illustration.)
