CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



GRAND RAPIDS. 



LETTUCE. 



German, Lattich. French, Laitne. 



The Lettuce is of easy growth and will thrive 

 in any ordinary garden soil. Sow thinly in rows 

 1 foot apart, and when large enough thin out the 

 plants so as to leave room for growth. To obtain 

 good Lettuce all through the season it is neces- 

 sary to make sowings at short intervals, as during 

 the hot months it is apt to become bitter and run 

 to seed. For home use we recommend the Head 

 Lettuce in preference to the loose-leaved varieties; 

 they are finer flavored, more solid, tender and crisp, 

 and usually without a trace of the bitter flavor so 

 common in the loose-leaved sorts. 



1 oz. to 150 feet of drill. 



We deliver all Seeds offered on this page to

Currie's Prize Head — Forms a large head of loose leaves, 

 bright green in color, tinged at the edges with red; very 

 crisp and tender, and of excellent flavor, and has the facul- 

 ty of keeping its good qualities throughout the entire sea- 

 son. We recommend this as one of the best for family use. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; 1 lb. 85c. 



Mignonette — A beautiful little First Early Lettuce, just the 

 sort for the home garden. The heads are exceptionally solid 

 and compact, with few outside leaves, -which permit of close 

 planting. The general color is a bronzy green, while the 

 inside leaves are a beautiful creamy white, remarkably 

 crisp and tender. It is very hardy, and can either be plant- 

 ed for an extra early Lettuce or for a late fall crop. Pkt. 

 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 



Denver Market — Forms a large loose head of fine flavor. Pkt. 

 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 25c; 1 lb. 85c. 



Giant White Cos, or Roinaine — Are distinct from all others, 

 the long narrow leaves producing loose sugar-loaf heads, 

 If, however, one will go to the 

 trouble of tying them up at 



the tops to aid in blanching, i 



unequalled for flavor, crisp- Jt 



ness and tenderness. Pkt. 5c; 

 oz. 15c; Vi lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.10. 



HEAD OR CABBAGE 

 LETTUCE. 



Boston Market — White-Seeded 

 Tennis Ball — Grows very 

 compact and is beautifully 

 white and crisp. Pkt. 5c; oz. 

 10c; % lb. 25c; 1 lb. 85c. 



Hanson — The heads are large, 

 very solid, sweet, tender and 

 crisp throughout, and entirely 

 free from any bitter taste. A 

 standard Summer Head Let- 

 tuce, very slow to run to seed. 

 Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; 1 

 lb. 85c. 



Immensity — An enormous Solid- 

 Headed Lettuce, one of the 

 slowest to run to seed. It is 



not an early sort, but on account of its great heat-resist- 

 ing qualities can be absolutely depended on for a mid- 

 season or late Lettuce. The quality is all that could be 

 desired; tender, crisp and sweet, even to the outside 

 leaves. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 25c; 1 lb 85c. 



CURLED OR LOOSE-LEAVED 

 LETTUCE. 



GRAND RAPIDS — Extra Selected Stock. 



The most popular of all Forcing Lettuce. On account of its 

 upright habit of growth it can be grown closer than other 

 sorts, and is less liable to rot; the leaves are light yellowish- 

 green, excellent for shipping and keep a long time without 

 wilting. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 40c; 1 lb. $1.25. 



Black-Seeded Simpson — Selected Stock. 



A favorite forcing variety; forms a compact mass of leaves, 

 and differs in being lighter colored, and is nearly double 

 the size of the Curled Simpson. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; 

 1 lb. $1.25. 



Early Curled Simpson — White seeded. Does not head, but 

 forms a compact mass of leaves. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % lb. 

 25c; 1 lb. 85c.
