CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



Grnnd Rapids Lettuce. 



LETTUCE 



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 <>ut 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, 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. :: Ids. to the oore.

 green, excellent for shipping and keep a long time without 

 wilting. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; % lb. 45c; 1 lb. $1.60.
