HENDERSON’S 
Mignonette Lettuce _ ! 
A Delicious First Early, Once Tasted, Always 
Wanted, Good to the Heart 4 
518. A little gem of Lettuce—perfect in quality, with bronzed, 
russet-green outer leaves. The solid heads blanch creamy-white, | 
and are tender and sweet as well. It is extremely hardy, and is the 
best sort for early spring use, for cold frame culture or for an out-! 
door winter crop in the Southern States. It is very early and heads. 
quickly and surely. Being slow to go to seed it is sometimes used as’ 
a summer variety, though it does not stand extreme heat so well as’ 
some sorts. The diminutive plant permits it to be set as closely 
as five inches apart; an obvious advantage to many. (See en- 
graving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.20 14 lb., $4.00 Ib. \

Grand Rapids Lettuce _ 
The Great Lettuce of the Great West—Indoors or Out,: 
: the Easiest of all to Grow : 
508. This is probably the best of the loose-leaved varieties. | 
am It forms no head, but produces an abundant crop of pale green leaves, — 
slightly but closely crumpled, which, even when old, retain their | 
| characteristic sweetness and brittle character. In this respect it | 
excels many of the best heading varieties. Moreover, the flavor 
7 even of the outside leaves is fully equal to that of the heart leaves of 
f many heading varieties. = 
) In the Middle West, and in many other sections, it is extremely 
} popular. We strongly urge those who cannot succeed in getting 
| Lettuce to head to grow Grand Rapids. The plant may be cut whole, 
| or the outside leaves may be removed, leaving the younger ones to 
# grow. The lower leaves grow clear of the ground so that it rarely - 
suffers from rot, and is therefore more largely grown for forcing than 
any other sort. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 85c. 14 Ib., $3.00 Ib.

HENDERSON’S PERFECTED 
Salamander Lettuce 
A Splendid Summer Variety 
522. Salamander is one of the few varieties that will head well 
during hot weather. If the instructions given on lettuce culture 
in our booklet ‘‘Salads, Growing and Blanching,”’ are followed, 
success is assured with Salamander. It will grow equally well as 
an earlier crop, but is excelled by others for fall use. It forms a 
good sized, compact head, creamy-white in color, and has all the 
rich flavor of the ‘‘butter’”’ Lettuce. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. 
pkt., 30c. oz., 80c. 14 Ib., $2.50 Ib. 
HENDERSON’S 
Unrivaled Lettuce 
Succeeds at all Seasons 
Early, Tender, Crisp and Buttery 
528. Thisis anew variety, and has proved to be a very valuable 
acquisition to. the Lettuce family. Itis very early in the maturing, 
being fit for use about the same time as Henderson’s Big Boston, 
which it resembles somewhat in appearance and in the size of the 
head. Henderson’s Unrivaled Lettuce is pale green in color, 
shading to creamy white at the center of the head which is formed 
of closely wrapped crispy leaves giving it great compactness of 
form. We highly recommend this sort, feeling confident that it will 
become a prime favorite. ;
