This remarkable new 



lettuce has rapidly 

 grown in popularity 

 among our best market 

 gardeners, who all agree 

 in pronouncing it not 

 only the best lettuce 

 they have ever grown 

 for forcing under glass 

 in hot-bed and green- 

 house, but equally valu- 

 able for growing in cold 

 frames and in open 

 -'1 ground during the hot- 

 test summer months. It 

 is a beautiful light yel- 

 lowish green color, 

 lea\-es much blistered 

 on the surface as shown 

 in photograph above, 

 made from a single head 

 and of very superior 

 even quality. It has the 

 peculiarity of forming a 

 solid head, even before 

 half grown. Its uni- 

 form, handsome and 

 even growth are well 

 shown in the photo- 

 graph of a section of 

 our field taken during 

 growth. It is the shyest 

 seeder of any lettuce we 

 have ever grown, and 

 is necessarily high in 

 price. We ofifer choice 

 seed of our own grow-
