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

in edible condition. I can recommend my strain of Black Seeded 
Simpson to anyone desiring a first class lettuce.

Byron Clark, Batavia, lowa.—My garden was the best in the neighborhood an@ 
your seeds proved as usual to be all right. I have used your seeds off and on since 
1878 and they have never failed me yet, although I garden on a small scale. 
J. Wesley Griffin, Warsaw, Ky.—The vegetables grown from seed purchased of 
you last spring are creating quite a stir among the hill farmers near Warsaw. I sold 
them lots of plants of Maule’s Success Tomato and Surehead Cabbage, which have 
produced wonderful crops. Those planted in our garden are doing likewise.

over well. Bears the heat of mid-summer; also
