HENDERSON'S
Tenderheart Lettuce
A succulent, early head Lettuce. Every plant is uniformly
perfect, nearly all head, with few outside leaves and most
attractive in appearance. The heads are compactly formed of
densely packed cream-colored heart leaves of fine
quality, tender, crisp, and sweet. It is not only
very early and hardy, but stands early summer
heat well, and though it does not bolt to seed
for two weeks after heading we do not recom-
mend it for use during very hot weather. (See
cut. ) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. \i lb., $2.50 lb.
"Your Tenderheart Lettuce is the finest and most
handsome Lettuce for its heading and eating qualities
I have ever raised. 1 sowed seeds in March and the
second Sunday in May 1 cut extra large heads."
J. F. HYNDS. Cloar, Ark.
"I cannot help sending my testimony regarding your
Tenderheart Lettuce. It succeeded beyond
my expectations. Everybody says
it is the fineslLeltuce grown.'
BENOIT BARROIS,
Jesuits Bend, La.

HENDERSON'S
New York Lettuce
IMMENSE HEADS AS SOLID AS A CABBAGE
One of the largest varieties grown. The heart
blanches beautifully and is crisp, tender and deli-
cious. It is robust-growing, roots deeply and is
thus able to resist hot, dry weather; is slow to run to
seed, and a sure header. The outer color is a dis-
tinct apple-green. It has been extensively grown in
all sections of the country and as a standard sum-
mer Lettuce it is in everyway desirable. (See cut.)
Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 70c. \i lb., $2.25 lb.
HENDERSON'S
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 forms
no head, but produces an abundant crop of pale green leaves,
slightly but closely crumpled, which, even when old, retain
their characteristic sweetness and brittle character. In this
respect 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.
In the Middle West, and in many other sections, it is ex-
tremely popular. 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. The lower leaves grow clear of the
ground so that it rarely suffers from rot, and is therefore more
largely grown for forcing than any other sort. (See cut.)
Price, 5c. pkt, 20c. oz., 55c. Y± lb., $1.75 lb.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
