HENDERSON’S BIG BOSTON LETTUCE. 
A GRAND LARGE CABBAGE LETTUCE. 
For Either Midsummer or Fall Use. Big, Compact, Tender and Crisp White Heads. 
T HIS grand variety, introduced into cultivation by us several years ago, has proved 
to be most valuable, steadily gaining in popularity until it is now more extensively 
grown than anv other kind of lettuce, either for the private table or for sale, 
North, South, East or West; whether grown in the open ground for summer and fall use, or 
in frames for spring, or forced cool in greenhouses for winter use, it invariably gives both 
grower and user the utmost satisfaction, producing during all seasons, under ordinarily 
favorable conditions, splendid large buttery-yellow heads, packed with thoroughly 
blanched leaves, crisp, tender, sweet and white, delighting both the palate and the eye. 
This grand variety makes a handsome plant, with but few outside leaves, and stands long 
before bolting to seed. Although Big Boston is one of our best large-heading midsummer 
lettuces, it is also peculiarly adapted for cool open-ground culture; large areas of it may 
be seen in the vicinity of New York as late as Nov. 15th; a slight covering of salt hay 
amply protects the plants from hard frosts, and when cut for market the leaves are as 
fresh, bright and untinged as if in midsummer. Thousands of acres of it are grown 
during the winter in Florida and other Southern States for shipping to Northern markets; 
as far north as Maine it is a wonderfully popular summer lettuce; in fact, we know of 
no other variety that gives such general satisfaction under so many varied conditions. 
(See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. % lb., $2.50 lb. 
Our SUCCESSION COLLECTION of Lettuces offered above, is worthy of your attention.
