erson’s “New York” 
. . Lettuce . . 
Is of unusual size and solidity of head, with but little 
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 va¬ 
riety, but is one of the best for summer use ever introduced. (See cut.)

HENDERSON’S- 
1 1 NEW LETTUCE, 
“MIGNONETTE.” 
A small, sturdy, russet-colored Lettuce, distinct and unique, and of great 
value. The entire plant measures only 7 inches in diameter, and is more solid 
and compact than any existing variety. The outer leaves are few, and 
these cling so closely to the head that it is almost all head. The few 
outside leaves are as deeply crumpled as a Savoy Cabbage and richly 
colored with russet-red and bronze-green of varying shades. The cut 
section shows the character of the solid heart, which is of 
a creamy yellow waved with pale greenish white. It is 
wonderfully hardy, resists drought and excessive moisture 
— a most valuable feature in our climate. It is fit for use 
five days after Boston Market, which, combined with its 
long-standing character, constitutes it an all-seasons 
variety in a superlative degree. (See cut.)
