Culture. For early Summer use, sow in hotbeds in 

 March, sowing every two weeks for succession. Transplant 

 the young plants to rows 2 feet apart and 8 to 12 inches apart 

 in the row. For Winter use, sow in August, transplant to 

 frames; and for this purpose the early heading varieties, such 

 as the Millionaire Lettuce, £ire best adapted. The Cos vtu-ieties 

 require to be tied up for a few days in order to properly blanch 

 them.

I ■ 193. "BuUy Good' Lettuce. No matter whether the 

 market price is up or down there is always a market for "Bully 

 Good" Lettuce. Those fine, large, solid heads — a full bushel 

 market box is barely large enough to hold 18 of them — of a 

 bright, rich, exquisite green; with a full, solid, rich, golden- 

 yellow heart, closely folded ; crisp as ice; with a mild, delicious 

 flavor, do you wonder we have named this grand Lettuce 

 'Bully Good." The market gardener with his pocket full of 

 money, the Southern grower with a big check from the Northern 

 cities and the amateur gardener with his neighbors beat to 

 a standstill. Everyone who grows for Market or eats "Bully 

 Good" Lettuce will cheerfully admit it is worthy of its name.

 variety of medium size and excellent quality. Outdoors the

 a head. It is very satisfactory also for forcing under glass.

 most delicious, large, light-colored Lettuce heads. As a frame Lettuce it has no equal; often 18 heads have brought $2.50 wholesale. If planted in early 

 Spring, it quickly forms heads and can be brought to market long before other Lettuce. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Oz. 15c. 2 Ozs. 25c. M Lb. 30c. }i Lb. 55c.
