 never rots in the earth like some. Every gardener who 

 grows lettuce in greenhouses or hot-beds should give it a 

 trial. Pkt.,10c.; oz., 30c.; 141b., 90c.; lb., $3.00. 



BLACK SEEDED SJ.MF.SON. IMI'KUVED STRAIN. 



BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON. (Improved strain.) In 

 Chicago and other Western cities this is the most popular 

 and best selling lettuce grown. It differs from Early Curled 

 Simpson in being much lighter in color, the leaves nearly 

 white and attaining almost double the size of that variety. 

 It also stands the summer heat splendidly when grown out- 

 side. We offer a highly selected and improved strain. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz.,20c.; 34lb„50c.; lb., $1.75; 2 lbs., $3.00. 



GOLDEN QUEEN. A splendid new forcing lettuce, of 

 golden yellow color, of very dwarf, compact growth, with 

 few loose outer leaves, enabling it to be planted very close. 

 The quality is very similar to the Boston Market, or Tennis 

 Ball, but distinct in appearance. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; 34 lb-, 

 35c.; lb., $1.25. 



ARLINGTON TENNIS BALL. This strain of white- 

 seeded Tennis Ball is saved by one of the most successful 

 market gardeners in Arlington, Mass., where the Tennis 

 Ball Lettuce originated. The seed is saved from plants 

 started under glass, by which means the valuable forcing 

 qualities are better retained than from plants started outside, 

 and from selected heads only. It is in every respect the same 

 as the originator used for stock and which other gardeners 

 have heretofore been glad to get, paying $1.00 per ounce for 

 it. We highly recommend this special strain, knowing that 

 nothing finer in a forcing lettuce can be obtained. Pkt., lOc; 

 oz.,20c.; 34 lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00. 



GRAND RAPIDS. This variety originated at Grand 

 Rapids, Mich., where it is largely grown for shipment to 

 distant points, and is considered by gardeners there the best 

 loose-headed lettuce for forcingunder glass. Leaves medium 

 size, of light, yellowish green color, much crimped and 

 frilled, thin, but of very upright growth ; crisp, tender and 

 of good quality. Owing to its upright habit it may be planted 

 very closely. It is of extremely rapid growth ; very little 

 liable to rot ; will stand without spoiling a week to ten days 

 after it is fit to cut, and retains its freshness a long time after 

 cutting. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15e.; 34 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.20. 



TILTON'S "WHITE STAR. A new and very distinct 

 sort of the Black Seeded Simpson type, but grows larger and 

 more rapidly ; has a broader, thicker and rather darker- 

 colored leaf ; forms a larger, more distinct and niore solid 

 central cluster of leaves, making almost a head; blanches 

 perfectly and is of excellent qualit.v. The plants remain long 

 in condition for use before runtiing to seed, and, owing to 

 the thick leaf, keep long after cutting without wilting. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; 34 lb., 40e.; lb., $1.50. 



REICHNER'S EARLY WHITE BUTTER, or 

 RIDGE LETTUCE. This very excellent new variety is 

 the result of several years' selection from the Philadelphia 

 Early White Cabbage, inade by the Reichners, who are 

 among the best market gardeners around Philadelphia. It 

 is one of the best forcing lettuces, as well as one of the best 

 for sowing in open ground, and for planting on ridges, being 

 entirely hardy and almost frost- and weather-proof. Pro- 

 duces fine, large, white solid heads of superb quality, Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., 25c.; 34 lb., 65c.; lb., $2.25 ; 2 lbs., $4.00.
