VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES 
HENDERSON'S PERFECTED 
Salamander Lettuce 
A SPLENDID SECOND-EARLY VARIETY 
Lettuces naturally thrive better during the cooler 
■weather of spring and fall than in a torrid summer—the 
season when such crisp, refreshing salad is most enjoyable; 
consequently there has been bred a number of heat- 
resisting or summer Lettuces, among which our Perfected 
Salamander is the acknowledged leader. It forms good- 
sized, compact and tender heads, creamy-white inside and 
of a rich buttery flavor. The outer color is pale green; 
it remains long in head without running to seed, and stands 
a great amount of heat without burning. (See cut.)

COS OR 
ROMAINE LETTUCE 
This is the best of the Cos varieties, which have a distinct 
and pleasing flavor. The long spoon-shaped leaves form oval- 
shaf)cd heads, and arc easily blanched by passing a soft twine 
around the plant to enclose the heart leaves. 
Cos Lettuce may be used to advantage where the heading vari¬ 
eties do not succeed, as almost the entire plant is tender and palat¬ 
able. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. ]/[ lb., $1.75 lb.

go to seed it is some¬ 
times used as a sum¬

it does not stand ex¬

as some sorts. The 
diminutive plant per¬ 
mits it to be set as 
closely as five inches 
apart; an obvious 
advantage to many.
