Holyrood Hot=Weather Lettuce. 
HANDSOME, TENDER, HEAT RESISTINQ 
The hundreds of letters to 
hand from those who tested this 
new lettuce fully justify our in¬ 
troduction of it last year as a won¬ 
derful hot-weather variety. All 
agree that it is the most remark¬ 
able heat-resister they have ever 
grown, standing longer than any 
other of the rich butter varieties. 
Heads are large, firm and solid; 
of the handsome appearance shown 
in photograph; light green outside, 
blanching to a beautiful cream- 
yellow inside; unusually tender 
and crisp. The most critical market 
gardener cannot be disappointed 
m this remarkable lettuce, no matter 
at what season of the year he may 
sow it, as its fine appearance and 
good table qualities ensure it a 
ready sale.

Fine New Spinach 
Henderson’s Long Seasons 
Spinach is generally grown 
during the winter and spring 
months, for the reason that the 
holyrood hot-weather lettuoe. ( From a photograph .) plants quickly run to seed in hot 
weather. We have, however, in 
Henderson’s Long Seasons a variety which will stand without running to seed and remain in an 
edible condition even in hot weather, so that this most delicious of “ boiling greens” may now be en¬ 
joyed in summer as well as during cooler months. It forms a dense rosette of thick, tender and suc¬ 
culent, crumpled leaves of intensely dark green color, which retain their freshness for a long period after 
cutting. It should be sown in the spring, and at monthly intervals for a successional summer supply. 
Price, pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; .} lb., 15c.; lb., 45c., postpaid; by express or freight, lb., 35c.; 10 lbs., $2.50.
