HENDERSON’S 
Early Butternut Lettuce 
Introduced by Peter Henderson & Co. Boe fags 
ane Most Delicious Butterhead Type Valuable for 
Forcing 
499 Henderson’s New Butternut Lettuce is particularly 
valuable because of its excellence for forcing in the hot 
bed or cold frame. Many growers have experienced 
difficulty in forcing Lettuce in frames on account of 
mildew and other fungus diseases. Our trials have proven 
that Henderson’s- Early Butternut Lettuce is less suscep- 
tible to this fault than any other sort. 
For a garden crop, Henderson’s Early Butternut Lettuce 
is a valuable acquisition on account of its earliness, being 
_ from 5 to 6 days earlier than any other of the heading sorts. 
It is of the popular butterhead type, forming medium-sized 
heads, which are very compact, and of a creamy-white color. 
It has few outer leaves, being all head, which allows closer 
planting. Price, 20c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 50c., 75c oz.
