HENDERSON'S

MAMMOTH BLACK SEEDED

 summer use. It is distinctly a butter 

 lettuce, and the largest of the type. It 

 succeeds well at any season, excepting 

 in the very hottest weather. Price, 

 15c. oz., 35c. i lb., $1.00 lb. 



GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE. 



The Best and Most Popular Loose-Leaved Lettuce. 



Grand Rapids is perhaps more largely grown than any other 

 variety, especially in the western states. 



It is invaluable for forcing, where, owing to its habit of growth, 

 all its leaves are carried well above the soil, which enables it to 

 resist rust and rot better than any other sort. It succeeds well 

 under glass. It is grown in enormous quantities in the open ground, 

 and is used throughout the growing season with profitable results. 

 We have been exceedingly careful to secure only the best stock, 

 which will be found remarkable in its uniformity. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. oz., 45c. | lb., $1.40 lb. 



HENDERSON'S 

 PERFECTED SALAMANDER LETTUCE. 



The standard summer lettuce. There is no variety which stands 

 heat better. It will produce good lettuce when it is scarcest on the 

 market, and will prove one of the most profitable crops. Our stock 

 is as nearly perfect as possible, and we confidently recommend it. 

 (See engraving.) Price, 15c. oz., 45c. \ lb., $1.50 lb.

GREEN CURLED. A very well-bred stock. The 

 inner leaves are so finely curled, and grow so closely 

 that they form a distinct heart. It blanches easily, the 

 color is fine, ''and it is very hardy. The densely curled 

 character of the whole plant makes it very attractive.

BROAD LEAVED BATAVIAN, or Escarolle. A 

 variety with broad, fleshy leaves, not so attractive in 

 appearance as the curled varieties, but very popular on 

 almost every market. Our stock is good in every respect.

 is extremely hardy. Price, 15c. oz., 50c. \ lb., $1.50 lb. 



£A1 ^ DWAPsF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. 



A very densely curled and dark colored stock, so 

 heavily furnished that it produces more per plant than 

 other stocks. Owing to it's dwarf habit it is not broken 

 when borne to the ground by heavy snows. Price, 

 10c. oz., 26c. | lb., 80c. lb. 



KOHLRABI. 



SHORT-LEAVED EARLY WHITE VIENNA 

 A very quick -growing stock, which 

 because of its small leaves and slender 

 stems, may be planted very closely. Suc- 

 cessive sowings during the spring and 

 early summer will easily supply a de- 

 mand which is constant on every market. 

 It is the best variety for frames. Price;, 

 25c. oz., 75c. | lb., $2.50 lb.

A very fine, and well-selected stock.
