Thick-Head Yellow. 



Thick-Head Yellow.— As its name indicates, this 

 new Lettuce grows a remarkably solid head, much like a 

 cabbage. It defies rain and bad weather, therefore is a sure 

 grower, as well as a rapid one. This quick growth gives 

 exceeding tenderness and fresh, good flavor to its pretty 

 light green leaves. Pkt., 5c.; i lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



"^ Farmers' Pride Lettuce.— A beautiful all-the- 

 year-round Lettuce. Oz., 15c.; i lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00. 



Immensity. — A very large variety, with an enormous 



solid head. We were first attracted to this variety by its 

 gigantic size, asit isof the finest quality, even the outer leaves 

 being tender. The plant is fully 18 inches in diameter, 

 while the head proper is proportionately large. It is very 

 slow to run up to seed, and maintains that crispiness of 

 texture and sweetness of flavor that will surely make it 

 popular. It is an excellent variety for early sowing, and is 

 absolutely reliable for a late crop at a season when other 

 varieties are hard to procure. It is later in maturing than 

 some other varieties. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 25c.; i lb., 90c. 



San Francisco Market. — We consider this the 

 most satisfactory variety for producing large, well-folded 

 and beautifull)- blanched heads in the famil)- garden or to 

 grow extensively for market. Growing to large size, it is 

 later than some of the other varieties, but is the most sure- 

 heading of any large buttery variety. The interior of the 

 head blanches to a beautiful golden yellow, and is of a rich 

 buttery flavor. The outer leaves are of a light golden yel- 

 low, and grow closely about the large, compact heads. We 

 find this one of the most desirable to grow in a cool green- 

 house or cold-frame for use during Winter and early Spring, 

 it being very sure-heading, growing to large size and of ex- 

 ceedingly fine quality. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; 2 ozs., 25c.; i lb., 

 40c.; lb., $1.00.

 5c.; ilb., 30c.; lb., $1.00.

 low Stoiiehead.

 Spring crop. Pkg.,
