PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 



Hendersons |\| ew Tenderheart Lettuce. 



This is similar to the old Boston Market in general appearance, but 

 is superior to it in every way. The plant is of the same size, but the 

 head proper is much larger, and it has fewer outside leaves. Its value 

 to the market gardener lies in its remarkable uniformity, every plant 

 coming true to type, and in its ability to stand after ma- 

 turity without going to seed. It has the bright attractive 

 color of Salamander, though the outer leaves are a shade 

 darker. It is without doubt the best first early market 

 lettuce. (See cut.) Price, 20c. oz., 66c. \ lb., $1.76 lb.

 succeeded beyond my expectations The finest lettuce I ever grew."

HENDERSON'S 



Perfected Salamander Lettuce. 



Extra Selected Market Gardener's Strain. 



This is one of the standard vegetables introduced by us. and the de- 

 mand for it has steadily increased until it is the leading variety grown 

 by market gardeners for summer heading. 



Lettuces naturally thrive better during the cooler weather of spring 

 and fall than in a torrid summer, the season when such crisp, cool- 

 ing salad is in great demand, conse- 

 quently there has been bred a num- 

 ber 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 in- 

 side and of the desirable rich buttery 

 flavor; outer color, light green; it re- 

 mains longer in head without running 

 to seed than any other variety and 

 stands a great amount of heat with- 

 out burning. We recommend it to 

 critical market gardeners. (See cut.) 



Price, 20c. oz., 50c. i lb., $1.40 lb. 



" The Salamander Lettuce I bought from you
