Henderson's Big Boston LettUCe 
:: A Grand Large Cabbage Lettuce.:: 
Big, Compact, Tender and Crisp, Creamy-White Heads 
This grand variety, introduced into cultivation by us several years ago, has proved to 
be most valuable, steadily gaining in popularity until it is now more extensively grown 
than any other kind of Lettuce, either for the private table or for sale, North, South 
East or West; whether grown in the open ground for early summer and fall use, in 
frames for spring, or forced cool in greenhouses for winter use. It invariably gives both 
grower and user the utmost satisfaction, producing, under ordinarily favorable con¬ 
ditions, splendid, large, creamy-white heads, packed with thoroughly blanched leaves, 
crisp, tender and sweet, delighting both the palate and the eye. This grand 
variety makes a handsome plant, with but few outside leaves, and stands long before 
bolting to seed. Big Boston is one of the best large-heading Lettuces, and, while it 
succeeds at all seasons, except during the very hottest months, it is peculiarly adapted for 
late fall culture. Large areas of it may be seen in the vicinity of New York as late as 
Nov. 15th; a slight covering of salt marsh hay amply protecting the plants from hard 
frosts, which when cut for market are as fresh, bright and untmged as at any season. 
Thousands of acres of it are grown during the winter in Florida and other Southern 
States for shipping to Northern markets; in every state it is wonderfully popular; in fact, 
we know of no other variety that gives such general satisfaction under such varying 
conditions. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 70c. lb., $2.00 lb.
