C. E. Koch, Elora. Pa , Aug. i, 1S94, writes : — '• Your let- 

 tuce, Xo. 66, proved to be excellent : some of the heads 

 weighed one pound and over. It can't be beat." 



PH0T0GR.4PH OF THE y-EW NO. 66 OB TREASTRE LETTTCE. 



New Lettuce No. 66, now called the Treasure Lettuce. 



From our tests at Floracroft Trial Grounds, made in 1893, we -were so thoroughlj- convinced of the 

 superior qualities of this new lettuce that last season we distributed several thousand sample packets for 

 trial amoug oiu- customers. That it has given pronounced satisfaction in all sections of the country- will 

 be seen by the voluntan,- testimonials published below, of which we have received hundreds of similar 

 ones. The name given it was suggested b}- an enthusiastic market gardener, who sajs in his report : 

 ' ' I have, in the last twelve j-ears, grown and tested hundreds of varieties of lettuce, but this new one of 

 yours, No. 66, is the greatest Treasure of them all. ' ' 



The Treasure Lettuce forms a fine, large, solid head, with leaves of a rich, creann- 3-ellow color, 

 which are ver\- tender and butter\- in flavor, surpassing nearly all other sorts in fine quality. It is a fine 

 earh- lettuce and also one of the best Summer varieties, being extremeh- slow to shoot to seed. It will 

 delight all planters who grow it. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 40c.; J4 lb., 51.25 ; lb., S4.00. 



WHAT OTHERS SAY OF THE TREASURE LETTUCE. 



Harold Fowler. Madeira, Ohio, Aug. 15, 1894, writes: 

 "Your Xo. 66 Lettuce (Treasure) cannot be beat. Every 

 plant grew a beautiful solid head. The leaves were the most 

 crisp and tender of any I ever had : delicateU' tinged with 

 pink on their tips and blister similar to those of the Sensa- 

 tion. .\11 who have had it here pronounce it the best." 



Wm. Behrexs, Sherrard, W. Va., Sept. i, 1S94, writes : 

 " The new lettuce, Ko. 66, Treasure, j-ou sent me for trial is 

 ver\- fine, the best for market, selling better than any other 

 varietv." 



C.'W. Price, Appleton Citj-, Mo., July 17, 1S94, writes : — 

 "I gave your new lettuce, Xo. 66, Treasure, a trial, and 

 found it the most excellent early lettuce I ever had." 



TILTON'S WHITE STAR LETTUCE. 



A new and verj- distinct sort of great merit. Of 

 the Black Seeded Simpson type, but grows larger 

 and more rapidh- ; has a broader, thicker and rather 

 darker-colored leaf ; forms a larger, more distinct 

 and more solid central cluster of leaves, making 

 almost a head ; blanches perfect!}- and is of excel- 

 lent qualit}-. The plants remain long in condition 

 for use before running to seed, and, owing to the 

 thick leaf, keep long after cutting without ^vilt- 

 ing. Repeated trials, both for forcing and early 

 planting out -doors, con^-ince us that this is a decided 

 acquisition and improvement over other varieties 

 of this class of lettuces for either pturpose. It is 

 worthy a trial from every one. Pkt. , loc. ; oz. , 20c. ;
