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 ten- | 
der is one of the leading characteristics; in fact, this feature | 
distinguishes Maule’s from the ordinary stocks of Hanson.

MAULE’S ROSETTE LETTUCE. 




CRISP-AS-ICE LETTUCE. 
Crisp-as-ice Lettuce. 
A beautiful lettuce of the cabbage type. 
The solid heads are of medium 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, variegated 
with bronze. Crisp-as-Ice cannot be over- 
estimated or overpraised for home use in 
spring and summer or late in the fall. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; } Ib., 40 cts.; Ib., $1.50. 
Maule’s Rosette Lettuce. 
Rosette is pale green in color, almost yel- 
low 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. It is slow to run to seed. It is 
not the largest lettuce on the market in 
spread of leaves, but in actual crop it out- 
yields many larger sorts. I have been in 
receipt of hundreds of letters praising my 
Rosette Lettuce in highest terms. 
Pkt. 10 cts., 0z.; 25 cts.; 4 Ib., 75 cts.; Ib., $2.50.
