HENDERSON'S 
MIGNONETTE LETTUCE 
TENDER. CRISP. VERY SOLID-A DELICIOUS FIRST EARLY 
HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 
Salamander Lettuce 
A SPLENDID SUMMER VARIETY 
Salamander is one of the few varieties that will head 
well during hot weather. If the instructions given in our 
pamphlet on “Lettuce Culture” 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 cut.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 65c. l /i lb., $2.00 lb. 
“Last spring I ordered your Salamander Lettuce and must say it 
was most satisfactory notwithstanding the hot, dry weather in June."

OUR PAMPHLET ON SALADS FREE IF ASKED FOR 
A little gem of a Lettuce, perfect in quality, with russet-green outer leaves. 
It is wonderfully solid and emphatically superior in this respect, to any va¬ 
riety grown. The plant is so small, that it may be planted very much closer 
than any other sort, and is practically all head. It is extremely early and is 
so hardy that it may be used to equal advantage for the latest crops. It is 
used very largely for sowing in early August, for use during late fall and is 
admirably adapted for all seasons, except during extreme heat, when others 
grow better. Sown in September and carried over winter in cold frames, it gives 
a valuable crop in April. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz.,80c. lb., $2.50 lb. 
“I have tried a great many different, kinds of Lettuce, making a specially of producing grand 
Lettuces, but your Mignonette Lettuce for crisp, cool, sweet taste, is the best I ever raised."
