New Golden Gate Lettuce i Mammoth Salamander Lettuce 



Since our introduction of thia grand new summer cab- 

 bage lettuce, which we brought from California five years 

 ago, we have received hundreds of letters endorsing its 

 wonderful qualities and pronouncing its large, magnificent 

 cream-yellow colored heads he finest ever grown. It is not 

 only one of the surest headers, but one that will remain in 

 condition for use longer than most others. Pkt., lOc; oz., 

 25c.; 14 lb., 60c.; lb.,S2.00. 



In the New Mammoth Salamander we have a variety 

 whicli possesses all the desirable qualities of the old Sala- 

 mander, but grows to double the size. It is the result of 

 many years' careful selection and breeding by a Philadel- 

 phia market gardener, whose main crop is lettuce. Owing 

 to its handsome appearance and fine quality, it is to-day the 

 most rapid seller in New York and Philadelphia markets. 

 Pkt.,10c.; oz., 25c.; M lb., 75c.; lb.,S2.50.
