CURLED OR LOOSE-LEAVED 

 LETTUCE. 



LETTUCE. 



German, Lattich. French, Laitne. 



The Lettuce is universally grown by 

 those who have gardens. It is of easy 

 growth and will thrive in any ordinary 

 garden soil. Sow thinly in rows one foot 

 apart, and when lai-ge enough thin out the 

 plants so as to leave room for growth. To 

 obtain good Lettuce all through the season 

 it is necessary to make sowings at short 

 intervals, for Lettuce during the hot months 

 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. 



GOLDEN QUEEN.

Grand Rapids — This is beyond question the 

 most popular of all forcing Lettuce. On 

 account of its upright habit of growth it 

 can be grown much closer than the other 

 sorts, and is less liable to rot : the leaves 

 are light yellowish-green, excellent for 

 shipping, and keep a long time with- 

 out wilting. Pkt. 5c ; oz. 10c ; 14 lb. 30c ; 



1 lb $1.00

 such universal satisfaction. It forms a large head of loose

 faculty of keeping its good qualities throughout the entire
