ERSON’S 
While I am not in the habit of writing testimonials, I cannot refrain 
from telling you of the great success I had with Henderson's Big Boston 
Lettuce this season. I am only an amateur gardener, but owing to mul¬ 
tiplicity of plants I got from the seedlings I was compelled to sell some of 
the head lettuce to keep it from wasting and I received 15c per head for it at 
the greengrocer's. Some of the heads measured 22 inches in circumference 
by 14 inches in height. FRED G. BUNNELL, Toms River, N. J, 
July 25, 1917. 
“ Lettuce grown from your Big Boston seed grew perfectly and as large 
as a cabbage." J. RYAN, Kansas City, Mo. 
Aug. 5, 1917. 
“ People around here had never seen such beautiful heads of Lettuce as 
we grew from your Big Boston. 
April 4, 1917. WILLIAM SCHMIDT, Kenosha, Wis. 
**1 so well pleased with your Big Boston Lettuce that I am sending 
you another order. 
March 26, 1917. Mrs. W. II. VEEDER, Sandwich, Mass. 
“7 planted some of your Big Boston Lettuce seed in the early Spring, and 
have never before seen such wonderful heads of fine crisp lettuce." 
Miss HELEN G. STINER, Croton-on-Hudson, N. Y. 
“I plant Henderson’s Big Boston Lettuce seed every year. It never dis¬ 
appoints." Mrs. MARY P. JONES, Wall St., Kingston, N. Y. 
" I raised a very excellent garden with your seeds last year. Especially I 
wish to praise Henderson's Big Boston Lettuce. I had very good lettuce, 
even tn the hottest weather." 
E. N. MORRISON, Garfield St., Kansas City, Kans. 
"I have never before lasted such wonderful head lettuce as mine grown from 
Henderson s Big Boston seed. All my friends say they never tasted anything 
quite so tender and crisp." 
Miss S. McKUSICK, Stillwater, Minn. 
Big Boston Lettuce 
A GRAND, LARGE, CABBAGE LETTUCE 
Big, Compact, 'Lender 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 if 
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 ir 
the open ground for early summer and fall use. in frames for spring, oi 
forced cool in greenhouses for yrinter use. It invariably gives both 
grower and user the utmost satisfaction, producing, under ordinarily, 
favorable, conditions, 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, witj 
but few outside leaves, and stands long before bolting to seed. Bij 
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. 15tn; a slight covering of salt marsh hay 
amply protecting the plants from hard frosts, which when cut for market 
are as fresh, bright and untinged 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 popu¬ 
lar; in fact, we know of no other variety that gives such general satisfac-. 
tion under such varying conditions. As many of our customers have 
said: “It is the best Head Lettuce on earth.” (See engraving.) Price. 
10c. pkt., 30c. oz., 75c. lb., $2.50 lb.
