Maule's 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 di^ught well, and is 

 very slow to run to seed. Its ability to remain sweet and ten- 

 der is one of the 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. 

 It is a well known and well tried sort and its merits have 

 been proven on the market. Every year increases the already 

 wide demand for my strain of Improved Hanson, and no let- 

 tuce has a wider American popularity than this hard heading 

 cabbage lettuce. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents. ^ pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.75, postpaid.

Crisp-as-Ice Lettuce 



A beautiful lettuce of the cabbage type. The solid 

 heads are of medium size, and the leaves are so 

 tender and brittle as to have suggested the name 

 bestowed upon it. The heads, when cut open, 

 have a rich, creamy yellow heart. The leaves are 

 thick and glossy, somewhat curled, of a good and 

 attractive green color, variegated with bronze. 

 Crisp-as-Ice cannot be over-estimated or overpraised 

 for home use in spring and summer or late in fall. 

 Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; I pound, 40 cts.; pound, $1.25.

MAY KING LETTUCE.

May King Lettuce 



The Most Popular Early Lettuce Today on the Market 



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 practically 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 jDarticularly rich, buttery 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 where an early buttery head lettuce is wanted. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; J pound, 40 cents; pound, $1.50, postpaid.
