THE MORSE LETTf' 



The Morse Lettuce 



This most excellent new Lettuce might be called an im- 

 proved Black Seeded Simpson, except from the fact that the 

 seed is white. It grows to a large size, as shown in photograph 

 above. The outer leaves are of a beautiful light green, while 

 within they blanch to a beautiful light yellow. It withstands 

 summer heat splendidly when grown outside, and is earlier 

 than the curled and most head varieties. Market and private 

 gardeners who grow the curled varieties will find the New
