Vegetable Seeds — 41 



In demand every month of the year. One of the most profitable crops grown by market gardeners. 

 Culture —Start the seed in boxes, frames or borders, and transplant once or twice, giving a space of 7x7 inches up to 



12x12 inches dependin" on variety, for final development. Extra rich, mellow ground, the highest culture and sufficient 

 moisture are demanded'for best results. The lettuce is hardy, but makes little growth when the mercury is below 40°. When much above 65° tn« 

 plain quickly becomes drawn out of shape. Sow shallow. One ounce will sow duo ieet ol drill and furnish about a.uOO plants. 



LETTUCE. 



IMMENSITY LETTUCE. 



This new lettuce is claimed to be with- 

 out exception the very largest lettuce in 

 cultivation. Notwithstanding its great 

 size it is tender, sweet and crisp. It pro- 

 duces a fine large, solid head, often 3 feet 

 in circumference and 12 inches in diam- 

 eter. It has great heat resisting qualities, 

 being slow to run to seed, so that it is very 

 reliable for a late crop when many other 

 sorts are unfit for use. Do not be preju- 

 diced on account of the great size of Im- 

 mensity, as it is not coarse, even the outer 

 leaves being tender. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 

 25 cents; | pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 



Free by Mail 



All packets, ounces, quarter

NEW CABBAGE LETTUCE, HOLZSCHUH'S SUCCESS. 



May Kin^ l>ettuce. 



The Sensational Lettuce of Germany. 



The Most Popular Lettuce Today in the Markets of Berlin, 



Leipstc, Frankfort, etc. 



It has solid round heads, and will bear transportation better than 

 almost any other variety. For early spring planting in the open 

 ground or under glass it is unequalled. The plants grow 6 to 7 inches 

 in diameter ; the outer leaves are so closely folded, the plant is practi- 

 cally all head. It is hardy, as well as very early, and a quick grower. 

 Leaves are a light green, the outer leaves slightly tinged with brown, 

 inner leaves a bright yellow. In flavor it is particularly rich, but- 

 tery and tender. May King has certainly been highly appreciated 

 wherever grown or tried, and is sure to become popular both in home 

 or market gardens. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; ', pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 



Holzschuh's Success. 



This new variety was offered in 1906 for the first time 

 The introducer has this to say about it : "Among the many 

 varieties of lettuce introduced, none can claim the hardi- 

 ness of Success. The hardy sturdiness of the plants adapt 

 them for early spring planting, or cold frame culture. 

 Planted in May it produces large, splendid yellow heads in 

 June, continues to grew to an enormous size till beginning 

 of Only, and stands still till end of July or beginning of 

 August before bolting to seed. From the centre to the 

 outside solid heads are formed, packed with crisp, tender 

 and savory leaves, tinged similar to Prize Head. Success 

 must be planted further apart than any other variety on 

 account of its large size. The heads, cut for market, can 

 be kept fresh for a long time, a quality which renders it 

 invaluable for the market gardener." I have grown a good 

 crop of this variety and offer choice seed from originator's 

 Stock. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; \i lb., 50c; lb., St.50.
