variety. The heads are not as solid as some, but are closely enveloped and the inner 

 leaves are of a rich cream white color, very tender, crisp, and of pleasant flavor. It is 

 long standing and desirable. 



Maximum, from J. C. Vaughan, is a very large, hard heading sort of desirable quality. 

 It stands a long time before the seed stalks start, and does not get tough and strong 

 as readily as some. 



Milly, from Vaughan, is a small, loose heading sort. The leaves are smooth — edges 

 deeply serrated; heads small, tender and crisp; flavor mild. It is of no especial value. 



New Summerlead, from Johnson & Stokes, is a quick growing, open head, cutting 

 variety. The leaves are broad, crinkled, tender and crisp. Seed stalks start rather 

 early, but it is an attractive early sort. 



New Treasure, from Johnson & Stokes, is an attractive, desirable heading sort; the 

 heads are solid, and tender and have a mild, pleasant flavor. 



New York, also called Wonderful, from Burpee, produced very large heads, but they 

 were loose and open and the inner leaves were tough and strong. It is strong growing 

 and very resistant to dry weather. 



Nos. 42 and 1901 were received from Burpee. No. 42 is a quick growing, loose 

 heading variety of good quality, while 1901 is a rather slow growing head sort of 

 promising characteristics. 



Royal, from Vick Sons, has smooth leaves, which form close but not hard heads. The 

 centers are yellowish-white, crisp and tender and have a mild, pleasant flavor. A 

 valuable addition to this class. 



Sumatra, received from D. Landreth & Sons, is a close heading sort of excellent 

 quality.
