TO SHOW WHAT IS THOUGHT OF 
Henderson’s “New York” Lettuce. 
Henderson's “New York ” 
Lettuce .— 
Is of unusual size and solidity of head, with but littlo 
tendency to run to seed. We have had it, time and again, 
18 inches in diameter, and weighing nearly four pounds, with 
heads almost as solid as an Early Summer Cabbage, which in 
general form it somewhat resembles. The variety blanches itself 
naturally, is crisp, tender and of excellent flavor, and always free 
from bitterness. The outside color is distinct. It is not a forcing 
variety, but is one of the best for summer use ever introduced. (See cut.)

“ / cannot help sending you my testimony as to the result of the New York Lettuce. Of all the Lettuce I 
ever saw or tasted, I must say this is the very best. I set out quite a large bed, and 26 heads were all I 
could get in a barrel without hard pressure. 1 gave it away to anybody and everybody I could, and with¬ 
out an exception every one said it was the finest in both size and quality they ever saw.” 
“Henderson's New York Lettuce: very fine and crisp. Good heads; I measured some of them and 
they were 15 to 16 inches across . It is all you claim for it. It looks like a cabbage head.” 
In short, it is the ACME OF 
PERFECTION for a Summer Lettuce.

CURLED .... 
VARIETIES. 
LETTUCE. 
curled variety for forcing or sowing out-of-doors 
size it is, under some circumstances, not so 
profitable for forcing. It stands the summer 
heat splendidly. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 
40c. 14 lb., $1.25 lb. 
EARLY CURLED SIMPSON. Forms a close, 
compact mass of curly leaves of a yellowish 
green. It is earlier than the head varieties 
and is the kind that is planted in cold frames 
almost exclusively; it is also largely grown as 
an early open-air variety between a cabbage 
crop. 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. lb., $1.25 lb. 
Cos, Romaine, or Celery Lettuce. 
“TRIANON.” This excels all other lettuces 
in quality, having a crispness, tenderness and 
flavor peculiarly its own and unapproached 
by any other variety. The heads are long and 
conical, often 9 inches high by 18 inches in 
circumference. The long and narrow leaves 
require to be tied up as shown in the cut, 
when they soon form solid heads and quickly 
bleach to snowy whiteness, and become as 
stiff, crisp and sweet as celery stalks, and are 
delicious when eaten in the same manner or 
prepared for salad. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 25c.
