4 Good 
Lettuces 
LACK-SEEDED SIMPSON. 
BLACK-SEEDED SIMPSON.—The best of the non-heading lettuces. 
An old and popular standard sort, of large size and highest quality. It 
is light colored, with inner leaves almost white; good for forcing under 
glass or for spring and early summer culture in the open air. Resists 
heat and remains long in edible condition. I can recommend my 
strain of Black Seeded Simpson to anyone desiring a first class lettuce. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 20 cts.; 14 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50. 
ICEBERG. 
ICEBERG.—Large, handsome head, of fine 
flavor. The light green, curly outside leaves 
have slightly reddish edges. The inside leaves 
are strongly arched, making a solid, well 
blanched head. Very hard heading and deli- 
ciously crisp. One of the best of the newer sorts. 
Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.3 14 Ib., 50c.; Ib., $1.50.

The lettuce is hardy, but makes little growth when the mercury is below 40°.

STUBBORN SEEDER. ) 
STUBBORN SEEDER or IMPROVED PERPIGNAN.—Slowest 
variety going to seed, sometimes failing altogether in that respect, and 
is, consequently, held in high esteem by gardeners. Forms large, solid 
heads of superb quality, and resists drought and heat well. Valuable 
for home use or market. It is white seeded; a grand lettuce for sum- 
mer, and I can highly recommend it as a choice variety. Packet, 
10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 14 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.

DENVER MARKET.—An early head let- 
tuce, with beautiful Savoy-like leaves. Heads

crimped in a manner peculiar to this variety. 
It is much in demand by market gardeners.
