 had as much satisfaction ivith all the Lettuces I have ever grown as I have had 

 with this variety. In our warm climate it is the finest and most suitable. I 

 shall never grow any other variety as long as I can get this variety true. We 

 have had a very erratic season, fient and cold, long dry spells, which have been 

 detrimental io all vegetables, so that the success obtained by myself has been 

 good — in fact, I may say phenomenal."
