Grand Rapids Lettuce 



CURLY CONTINUITY—A well folded, firm, crisp head with red 

 shading on a clear green background. The leaves are crisp and 

 nicely frilled like those of New York. The quality is excellent, and 

 the flavor sweet and nutty. Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 50c; % lb., $1.50. 



PARIS WHITE COS— One of the best known. Plants erect, and 

 tightly folded, leaves pale green and of good quality, which it 

 retains for a long time. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 45c; 1 lb., 

 $1.25. 



IMMENSITY— An enormous Solid-Headed Lettuce, one of the 

 slowest to run to seed. Not an early sort, but of great heat- 

 resisting qualities. It is tender, crisp and sweet, even to the 

 outside leaves. Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 65c; 1 lb., $2.00. 



ICEBERG — Forms a compact head with large main ribs which 

 curve inwards, protecting the center, so that it is always thor- 

 oughly blanched, remaining crisp and tender at all times. Pkt., 

 10c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; 1 lb., $1.50. 



WAYAHEAD — An extra early, large, solid-headed variety, adapted 

 to cold-frame or garden culture. Outside leaves light green, in- 

 side and heart golden-yellow, crisp and sweet. Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 

 20c; % lb., 60c; 1 lb., $1.75.

 and sweet. The outer leaves are tinged brown, heart rich yel- 

 low. Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.50.

 variety; forms a compact mass of leaves and differs in being light- 

 er colored, and in nearly double the size of the Curled Simpson. 

 Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.25. 



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 keep- 

 ing its good qualities throughout the entire season. We recom- 

 mend this as one of the best for family use. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; 

 % lb., 50c; 1 lb.. $1.25. 



EARLY CURLED SIMPSON— White Seeded. Does not head, but 

 forms compact mass of leaves. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; 

 1 lb., $1.25. 



CURRIE'S 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., 10c; 1 oz., 

 20c; % lb.. 50c; 1 lb., $1.50. 



TRIANON COS— Sown at the same time as the head Lettuces, 

 this variety perfects compact, upright, tightly folded cones within 

 sixty days of sowing the seeds. It folds of its own accord, no 

 tying required, and inside leaves bleach naturally to a most at- 

 tractive greenish white. It is an ideal Lettuce for sowing again 

 during June for use during August when regular head Lettuces 

 will not form solid plants. Pkt., 10c; 1 oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; 

 1 lb., $1.35. 



MARTYNIA 



MARTYNIA — The seedpods are used for pickling when gathered 

 young and tender. Sown in open ground in May in hills 3 feet 

 apart each way, or in a hotbed and afterwards transplanted. 

 If once planted in the garden voluntary plants are likely to 

 spring up the following year from scattered seeds. Pkt., 10c; 

 V2 oz., 30c; 1 oz., 50c.
