LETTUCE. 



The seed was planted in seed boxes in the forcing house, and later on, 

 twelve plants were placed in a hot-bed, and on the 7th of May another 

 dozen of each variety was planted in the open ground. From these last 

 plants the results in the table were obtained. 



In the hot-bed the kinds found to succeed best were Grand Rapids, 

 Black Seeded Simpson, Bloomsdale Early Summer, Boston Curled, Boston 

 Market, Landreth's Forcing, M. G. Private Stock, and Yellow Seeded 

 Butter. 



For winter forcing none of them equals the Grand Rapids. Its upright 

 habit admits of close planting and it matures two weeks quicker than Ten- 

 nis Ball or Boston Curled. 



In the table an attempt has been made to group together by numbers 

 the kinds that closely resemble each other.
