MAULE’S IMPROV 
Maule’s Improved Hanson is a cabbage-headed lettuce of beautiful 
color, neither pale green nor rank dark green, but of an intermediate 
and attractive shade, making a pleasing picture on the market stall. 
The edges of the leaves are slightly fringed, and the leaves themselves 
are crumpled but not really savoyed. The heads of this lettuce have 
been known to attain a weight of five pounds. 
In table quality this lettuce is perfection itself. It is wholly free from 
bitter taste, having a sweet and rich flavor, even to the outer leaves. It 
remains long in good table condition after reaching maturity, and 

to avoid both toughness and rankness and to remain sweet and tender 
is one of its leading characteristics; in fact, this feature distinguishes 
1t is a perfect open-air lettuce in all respects, for both amateur and 
professional gardeners. It is hardy, and may be set out in earliest 
spring or grown late 1m the fall. Every year increases the already wide 
demand for my strain of Improved Hanson, and no lettuce has a wider 
American popularity. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 14 1b., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50.

us to have suggested the name bestowed upon it. The head has a rich, 
yellow heart. The leaves are thick and glossy, somewhat curled, of a 
Crisp-as Ice cannot be overestimated or overpraised for home use in 
spring and summer. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 20 ets.; 44 1b., 50 cts.; 1b., $1.50. 

NEW ROSETTE LETTUCE. 
YOU NEED IT. 
Another year’s experience with this beautiful 
lettuce adds to my opinion of its excellence and 
practical value. It is as good as it is handsome. 
Rosette is pale green in color, almost yellow on 
top. The outer leaves are very much rounded in 
outline, with a few broad, coarse crimpings, and 
not nearly so pale in color as the leaves which 
form the head. t is regular in shape, and the 
head forms quickly. Itisslow toruntoseed. It 
is not the largest lettuce on the market in spread of 
leaves, but in actual crop it outyields many larger 
sorts. I have been in receipt of hundreds of letters 
praising Rosette in highest terms. I quote from a 
few as follows: 
R. M. Jefferies, Thebes, I1l.: lt comes nearer com- 
bining all the qualities required by a market gar- 
dener than any sort.—H. Wolrath, St. Johnsville, : 
N. Y.: I cannot speak too highly of its merits. The 
fiavor is delicious, and it surpasses anything in the 
way of a lettuce my friends or myself have ever 
eaten.—E. Lamphere, Bethany, Neb.: The best 1 
ever saw; stood the hot, dry weather of Nebraska 
this year better than any vegetable I had.—David 
Vinter, Remington, Ind.: It was always crisp and 
of fine nutty flavor; without exception the finest 
lettuce I ever tasted.—S. G. Kilgore, London, O.: 
Far ahead of any I ever tasted; crisp, juicy and 
tender, with a peculiar buttery flavor. 
I could fill pages with similar testimonials.
