Summerlead Lettuce 



Best to Stand Heat 



A few years ago we received from one of our customers 

 a small package of lettuce, with the request that we give it 

 a fair test with other summer varieties at Floracroft Trial 

 Grounds. We found it :i most distinct new variety, and one 

 of the largest and handsomest head lettuces we have ever 

 grown. We were also astonished at its heat-resisting quali- 

 ties, as during the unprecedented hot summer it remained 

 longer without shooting to seed than any other on trial. The 

 outside color is a light yellowish green, becoming entirely 

 yellow towards the heart, while its tender and crisp table 

 qualities are perfect. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 80c; lb., S3.00. 



NEW MOHSK — THE BEST CURLED LETTUCE, OX A 7% HAT. 



New Morse Lettuce 



This excellent new curled lettuce might he called an im- 

 proved Black Seeded Simpson, except from the fact that the 

 seed is white. It grows to large size. The outer leaves are 

 light green, while within they blanch to a beautiful light 

 yellow. It withstands summer heat splendidly, is very early 

 and of delightful flavor, being verv crisp and tender. Pkt!.

Bid BOSTON LETTUCE 



This is a fine forcing variety for cold frames 

 during the winter months, as it produces heads of 

 very large size, often twelve inches or more across, 

 and succeeds better in a cooler temperature than 

 most forcing strains. The large heads are beauti- 

 fully blanched and of superior quality. It heads 

 well also in the open ground during cool weather of 

 spring and fall, and has lately become popular in 

 the South to grow for shipping North. Our seed is 

 an extra selected strain. Per pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; i lb., 

 35c; lb., $1.25. 



THE MONGOLIAN LETTUCE 



A New Variety from Asia 



An excellent variety for spring and fall plant- 

 ing outdoors. In delicate flavor and crispness it is 

 all that could be desired, and it will amply repay 

 everyone who plants it for the home table. Per 

 pkt., 15c; oz., 25c; J lb., 70c ; lb., $2.25.
