Grand Rapids Lettuce. 
LETTUCE 
The Lettuce is of easy growth and will thrive in any ordi- 
nary garden soil. Sow thinly in rows 1 foot apart, and when 
large enough thin out the plants so as-to leave room tor 
growth. To obtain good Lettuce all through the season it is 
necessary 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. 3 Ibs. to the acre. 
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. 20c; 4 1b. 45c; 1 lb. $1.60.

BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON—Selected Stock—A favorite fore- 
ing 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. $1.40. 
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 
faculty of keeping its good qualities throughout the entire 
season. We recommend this as one of the best for 
family use. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c; % lb. 40c; 1 Ib. $1.40. 
Early Curled Simpson—White Seeded. Does not head, but 
forms a compact mass of leaves. Pkt. 5c; oz. 15¢e; %4 Ib. 
40c; 1 lb. $1.40. 
HEAD, OR CABBAGE LETTUCE. 
BIG BOSTON—A large Head Lettuce exceedingly valuable 
either for forcing or outdoor work. The leaves are light 
green and tender. To get the best results this sort should 
be grown early or very late, as it does best in cool weather. 
When forced under glass should be grown a number of 
degrees cooler than other sorts. Grown largely in the 
Southern States, for shipping north. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; %4 Ib. 
45¢e; 1 lb. $1.60. 
MAY KING—One of the earliest heading varieties, quickly 
producing from spring sown seed a large, firm, well-closed 
head, the outer leaves slightly tinged brown, the heart 
clear yellow and most crisp and tender. The outer leaves 
so compactly enfold the head that very close planting is 
permissible, making it with its superior quality a favorite 
variety for frame culture. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % Ib. 46c; 
1 lb. $1.60. 
All Seasons—One of the best of the “Butterhead” varieties. 
Heads medium to large, round and compact, the broad 
pale-green leaves, blanched golden-yellow at the center, are 
crisp and tender and of a delicious buttery flavor. Slow to 
run to seed and a great heat resister, it may, as its name 
implies, be grown in the open with equal success through- 
out the season. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb. 45c; 1 1b. $1.60. 
ICEBERG—Extremely hard heading, has finely indented 
leaves. Good for home or market garden. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; 
14 1b. 45c; 1 Ib. $1.60. 
New York (Wonderful)—A good summer sort, one of the 
slowest to run to seed, of excellent flavor; very crisp and 
tender, heads large. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % Ib. 45c; 1 lb. $1.60. 
All above prices are postpaid.
