MAULE’S IMPROVED HANSON LETTUCE. 
In table quality this lettuce is perfection itself. It is wholly free from 
bitter taste, having a sweet and rich flavor, even to the outer leaves. It 
remains long in good table condition after reaching maturity, and 
resists heat and drought well, and is very slow to run to seed. ‘Its ability 
to remain sweet and tender is one of its leading characteristics; in fact, 
this feature distinguishes Maule’s from the ordinary stocks of Hanson. 
It is a perfect Open-air lettuce in all respects, It is hardy, and may 
be set out in earliest spring or grown late in the fall. Every year 
increases the already wide demand for my strain of Improved Hanson, 
and no lettuce has a wider American popularity. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 25 cts.; 14 pound, 75 cts.; pound, $2.00.

CRISP-AS-ICE LETTUCE. 
CRISP-AS-ICE LETTUCE. 
A beautiful lettuce of the cabbage type. The 
solid heads are of great size, and the leaves are so 
tender and brittle as to have suggested the name 
bestowed upon it. The head has a rich, yellow 
heart. The leaves are thick and glossy, somewhat 
curled, of a good and attractive green color, varie- 
gated with bronze. 
Crisp-as Ice cannot be overestimated or over- 
praised for home use in spring and summer. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 
ly pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50. 
NEW UNRIVALED LETTUCE. 
Our Mr. Dungan was most favorably impressed 
, With this new lettuce when visiting California, 
and came back to Philadelphia most enthusiastic 
in its praise. It is an improved Big Boston, and 
when I say this much I certainly say a great deal. 
Coming in about the same time as the Big Boston, 
it makes a larger head and is in every way more 
desirable. Packet, 10 cents; oumce, 25 cents; 
14 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 
NEW ROSETTE LETTUCE. 
Rosette is pale green in color, almost yellow on 
top. The outer leaves are very much rounded in 
outline, with a few broad, coarse crimpings, and 
not nearly so pale in color as the leaves which 
form the head. It is regular in shape, and the 
head forms quickly. Itisslow toruntoseed. It 
is not the largest lettuce onthe market in spread of 
leaves, but in actual crop it outyields many larger 
sorts. I have been in receipt of hundreds of letters 
praising Rosette in highest terms. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 
. lf pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.
