MAULES IMPROVED HANSON LETTUCE. 



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 

 resists heat and drought well, and Is very slow to run to seed. Its ability 

 to remain sweet and tender is one of its leading characteristics; in fact, 

 this feature distinguishes Maule's from the ordinary stocks of Hanson. 



It is a perfect open-air lettuce in all respects, It is hardy, and may 

 be set out in earliest spring or grown late in the fall. Every year 

 Increases the already wide demand for my strain of Improved Hanson, 

 and no lettuce has a wider American popularity. 



Packet, 10 els.; ouiice, 20 cts.; % pound, 60 cts.; pound, $3.00. 



NEW ROSETTE LETTUCE. 



CRISP-AS-ICE LETTUCE. 



CRISP-AS-ICE LETTUCE. 



A beautiful lettuce of the cabbage type. The 

 solid heads are of great size, and the leaves are so 

 tender and brittle as 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 good and attractive green color, varie- 

 gated with bronze. 



Crisp-as Ice cannot be overestimated or over- 

 praised for home use in spring and summer. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 



% pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50. 



NEW UNRIVALED LETTUCE. 



Our Mr. Dungan was most favorably impressed 

 with this new lettuce when visiting California, 

 and came back to Philadelphia most enthusiastic 

 In its praise. It is an improved Big Boston, and 

 when I say this much I certainly say a great deal. 

 Coming in about the same time as the Big Boston, 

 it makes a larger head and is in every way more 

 desirable. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 

 % pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50. 



NEW ROSETTE LETTUCE. 



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. It is regular in shape, and the 

 head forms quickly. It is slow to run to seed. 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. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 

 \i pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.
