NEW LETTUCE, 



"MIGNONETTE." 



L E T I U G b . . VARIETIES. 



EARLY CURLED SIMPSON. 



Forms a close, compact mass of curly 

 leaves of a yellowish green. It is 

 earlier than the head varieties and 

 is the kind that is planted in cold 

 frames almost exclusively ; it is also 

 largely grown in the open. 5c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 35c. W lb., $1.10 lb. 

 BLACK-SEEDED SIMPSON. 

 Forms large, loose heads of thin and 

 exceedingly tender golden yellow 

 leaves ; the best curled variety for 

 forcing or sowing out-of-doors, 

 though on account of its large size it 

 is, under some circumstances, not so 

 profitable for forcing. It stands the 

 summer heat splendidly. (See cut.) 

 5c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. % lb., $1.25 lb. 



A small, sturdy, russet-colored Lettuce, distinct and unique, and of great 

 value. The entire plant measures only 7 incues in diameter, and is more 

 solid and compact than any existing variety. The outer leaves are few, 

 and these cling so closely to the head that it is almost all head. The 

 few outside leaves are as deeply crumpled as a Savoy Cabbage and 

 richly colored with ' ^set-red and bronze-green of varying shades. 

 The cut section sli ws the character of the solid heart, which is 

 of a creamy yeh w waved with pale greenish white. It is 

 wonderfully hai ly, resists drought and excessive moisture 

 — a most valuable feature in our climate. It is fit for use 

 five days after Boston Market, which, combined with its 

 long-standing character, constitutes it an all-seasons va- 

 riety in a superlative degree. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 

 25c. oz., 70c. y± lb., $2.25 lb. 



COS, ROMAINE or CELERY LETTUCE. 



"TRIANON." This excels all other lettuces in quality, 

 having a crispness, tenderness and flavor peculiarly its own 

 and unapproached by any other variety. The heads are 

 long and conical. The leaves require to be tied up as shown 

 in the cut, when they soon form solid heads and quickly 

 bleach to snowy whiteness, and become as stiff, crisp and 

 sweet as celery stalks, and are delicious when eaten in the 

 same manner or prepared for salad. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 

 20c. oz.. 50c. Y x lb.. S1.50 lb. 



PARIS WHITE COS. An old standard variety. 5c. pkt., 

 15c. oz., 40c. K lb., S1.25 lb. 



We can also supply the 

 following varieties of Let- 

 tuce, which are too well- 

 known to need description 

 at the uniform price of 5c.
