HENDERSON'S 



Mignonette Lettuce 



A Delicious First' Early 



A splendid quality Lettuce. The solid heads blanch 

 creamy-white, are tender, crisp, and as sweet as — 

 well — Mignonette Lettuce, for none other in quality 

 quite equals it. Another feature is its hardiness, for 

 early spring planting, coldframe culture, or growing out 

 during the winter in the Southern States; it heads 

 quickly and surely, and, in consequence, may be had 

 ver}' earh'; moreover, it is a first-rate summer Lettuce, 

 slow to bolt to seed. It is a compact-growing variety, 

 the plants spread only about seven inches, enabling 

 them to be closely planted. The outer leaves are 

 bronzy-green and russet, but the interior is beautifully 

 white and inviting. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. 

 oz., 80c. }i lb., $2.50 lb. 



"Your Mignoneile Lettuce was a revelation to our family. It sur- 

 passes in quality any Lettuce we ever tried before." 



LOUIS A. STEBJN, St. Louis, Mo. 



"I have planted your Mignonette Lettuce in my garden for a number 

 of years and also have it under glass all winter. We like it very 

 much. It looks beautiful when served on the table and is a nice crisp 

 variety." CHARLES S. CASH, Salem, N. Y. 



"Have raised more than a dozen different kinds of lettuce and find 

 that your Mignonette excels them all." 



H. E. JONES, Hamilton. Mont. 



HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 



Salamander Lettuce 



A Splendid Second'Early Variety 



Lettuces naturally thrive better during the cooler weather 

 of spring and fall tlian in a torrid summer — the season really 

 when such crisp, cooling salad is most enjoyable and in great 

 demand; consequently there has been bred a number of heat- 

 resisting or summer Lettuces, among which our Perfected 

 Salamander is the acknowledged leader. It forms good- 

 sized, compact and tender heads, creamy-white inside and of 

 that desirable rich buttery flavor; outer color, light green; 

 it remains long in head without running to seed, and stands 

 a great amount of heat without burning. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 65c. I4' lb., $2.00 lb. 



" Last spring I ordered your Salamander Lettuce and must say it was most 

 satisfactory notwithstanding the hct, dry weather in June. " 



W:\I. C. KIDDER. Sea Girt, N. J. 



"The Salamander Lettuce bought from you this season produced the best 

 lettuce I have ever grown." ERNEST WESTON. Newport. R. I.
