HENDERSON'S 



TENDERHEART LETTUCE 



A GRAND, new, large, early head Lettuce. Every plant 

 uniformly perfect, about 10 inches across, and nearly 

 all head with but few outside leaves. The large 

 round heads are compactly formed of waxy-cream 

 colored heart leaves of splendid substance and of 

 extra fine quality, tender, crisp, succulent and sweet; 

 attractive and appetizing when served. Tenderheart 

 is not only a very early and hardy Lettuce, but it 

 stands early summer heat splendidly, and does not 

 bolt to seed for two weeks after it is fully headed 

 up. Color of the outside leaves pale green, slight- 

 ly tinged reddish-brown. (See cut.) Price, 10c. 

 pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. M lb., $2.50 lb. 



"/ can not help sending my leslimony regarding your Tender- 

 heart Lettuce. It succeeded beyond my expectations. Everybody 

 says it is the finest lettuce grown."

HENDERSON'S 



NEW YORK LETTUCE 



THE KING OF SUMMEK HEAD LETTUCES 

 IMMENSE HEADS AS SOLID AS A CABBAGE 



IT produces immense heads, often 15 and 16 inches across, 

 and weighing enormously. The interior blanches beauti- 

 fully, creamy- white, crisp, tender, delicious and is absolutely 

 free from any trace of bitterness. It is a very large robust-growing 

 variety, rooting deeply, resisting hot, dry weather, very slow to run 

 to seed and a sure header under most trying conditions. The outer 

 color is of a distinct apple-green. We introduced this variety a 

 number of years ago, and it has been extensively grown by our 

 customers in almost all sections of the country, from whom we 

 receive most gratifying reports. As a standard hot- weather summer 

 Lettuce it is in every way desirable and has no equal, but is not 

 recommended for forcing. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 

 70c. 34 lb., $2.25 lb. 



"Allow me to praise your New York Lettuce. I planted half of the packet and 

 raised SOS heads of the finest salad. Some IS inches across and when cut looked 

 like Cabbage. I shall always use it. " 



EDGAR KENLING. Perth Amboy, N. J. 

 "I must have some of your New York Lettuce. I think it the finest summer 

 Lettuce I ever raised and as I can not get it here so send to you." 



JAMES P. BLACKLEDGE, Havensville, Kan. 



Golden Queen Lettuce 



A SPLENDID FIRST EARLY HEAD LETTUCE 



AVERY desirable, first early variety, of a pleasing golden-yellow 

 color, and second to none for forcing. Of medium size, but 

 forms solid heads, with Httle waste, so that there is really 

 more to it than in many Lettuces double the size. It is very crisp, 

 tender and juicy. Price, 10c, pkt., 25c. oz., 80c. J^ lb., $2.50 lb. 



Black See ded Simpson Lettuce 



The Best of the Curled or Cutting Varieties 



THE plants form large, loose masses of 

 curly and crumpled yellow-green 

 leaves, which are very tender, crisp 

 and delicious. It stands the summer heat 

 splendidly, and is practically everbearing, for 

 as the leaves are picked new leaves will grow. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 55c. % lb., $1.50 lb. 



COS OR ROMAIN LETTUCE 



'^TMANON^' 



EXCELS all other Lettuces in quality, 

 having a crispness, tenderness and flavor 

 peculiarly its own and unapproached by 

 any other variety. The heads are long and 

 conical. The leaves require to be tied up 

 when they soon form solid heads and quickly 

 bleach to snowy whiteness and become as stiff, 

 crisp and sweet as Celery stalks, and are delici- 

 ous when eaten in the same manner or prepared 

 for salad. {See cut on following page. ) Price, 

 10c. pkt, 20c. oz., 60c. J4 lb., $1.75 lb. 



"/ had fine luck with your Trianon Cos Lettuce 

 in spite of the bad weather; many weighed 2 pounds; 

 solid white."
