Grand Rapids Lettuce 
THE GREAT LETTUCE OF THE GREAT WEST 
INDOORS or OUT—THE EASIEST OF ALL.TO GROW 
This is probably the best of the loose-leaved 
varieties. It never forms a head, but produces 
an abundant crop of pale green leaves, slightly 
but closely crumpled, which, even when old, 
retain their characteristic tenderness and brit¬ 
tle character. In this resjicct it excels many 
of the best heading varieties. Moreover, the 
flavor, even of the outside leaves, is fully equal 
to that of the heart leaves of many heading 
varieties. 
.. We strongly urge those who cannot succeed 
in getting Lettuce to head to grow Grand 
Rapids. The plant may be cut whole, or the 
outside leaves may be removed, leaving the 
younger ones to grow. Owing to the fact that 
the lower leaves grow upright and clear of 
the ground it rarely suffers from rot, and is 
therefore more largely grown for forcing than 
any other sort, especially in the West, for 
w’hich it is well adapted. {See cttl.) Price,

LETTUCE 
-—- HENDERSON S '——— 
TENDERHEART LETTUCE 
A succulent, early head Lettuce. Everj' plant is uniformly 
perfect, nearly all head and with but few outside leaves. The 
heads are compactly formed of dcnsel}' packed cream-colored 
heart leaves of fine quality, tender, crisp, and sweet; and most 
attractive in appearance. Tcnderhcart is not only a very 
early and hardy Lettuce, but it stands early summer heat 
w-ell, and does not bolt to seed for two weeks after it is 
fully headed up, though we do not recommend it for use 
during very hot weather. Color of the outside leaves 
pale green, slightly tinged redd.'sh-brown. {See cut.)

"/ can not help sending my testimony regarding your Tender- 
heart Lettuce. It succeeded beyond my expectations. Everybody 
says it is the finest lettuce grown." 
BERIORT BARRIOS, Jesuites Bend, La. 
IMMENSE HEADS AS SOLID AS A CABBAGE 
It produces immense heads often 15 and 16 inches across. 
The heart blanches beautifully and is crisp, tender and delicious. 
It is a robust-growing variety, rooting deeply and thus able to 
resist hot, dry weather; is slow to run to seed, and a sure header. 
The outer color is of a distinct apple-green. It has been exten¬ 
sively grown in all sections of the country and as a standard 
summer Lettuce it is in every way desirable. {See cut.) Price,
