JOHNSON & STOKES' SaMMERLEAD LETTtiGE 



A few years ago we re- 

 ceived from one of our 

 customers a small package 

 of lettuce, with the request 

 that we give it a fair test 

 with other summer varie- 

 ties at Floracroft Trial 

 Grounds. We found it a 

 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 qualities, 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. We 

 wrote originator regarding 

 its exceptional merits, and 

 at his suggestion named it 

 Johnson & Stokes' Sum- 

 merlead. All customers 

 who received seed last 

 Spring are enthusiastic in 

 its praise. Pkt., lOc: oz. ,
