cross-bred plants break up into all sorts 

 and kinds. Second generation seedlings 

 of the cross above noted have produced 

 as many as twenty-eight distinct types. 

 There are usually two predominating 

 forms, but with all possible gradations 

 between them. 



Two New Types. 



At the present time Mr. Oliver is 

 working with three or four distinct selec- 

 tions of this cross, representing two 

 general types — one a very rapid growing, 

 early heading form, producing heads 

 which are compact and long standing; 

 another form of the same cross, which 

 is a cutting lettuce, closely resembling 

 the Grand Bapids Forcing, but with a 

 more compact and dense habit. These, 

 perhaps, represent the two extremes from 

 this cross. Both of these lettuces are 

 exceedingly promising. It may be said 

 that the heading form, which is now in 

 its sixth generation, is the earliest of the 

 large head types of forcing lettuce. The 

 cutting type is also considerably earlier 

 than either of its parents. 



Our work with fertilizers upon lettuce 

 has not progressed far enough to give 

 us decided results; at least, not suffi- 

 ciently decided so that we can say posi- 

 tively that a certain kind of fertilizer is 

 better suited to lettuce on the greenhouse 

 bench than another. The work is now 

 in its second year, and quite marked re- 

 sults are observable in the young plants 

 now upon the benches, but at this stage 

 of growth it is impossible to predict what 

 may be the final outcome.
