LETTUCE 



You should have Lettuce growing in your garden until 

 frost. Frequent plantings should be made until October, 

 and for sowing during the hot summer months the follow- 

 ing varieties are well adapted : 



French Unrivaled. (See cut.) A sure-heading variety, 

 suitable for growing at any season. Forms large, com- 

 pact, buttery heads, and is slow to shoot to seed. The 

 general character is similar to "Big Boston," except that 

 the color is a lighter green and leaves are not tinged 

 with brown. A good Lettuce to grow at any season of 

 the year, outside in spring and summer and under glass 

 in winter, and in either case it can be depended upon to 

 produce a satisfactory crop and it is a splendid Lettuce 

 for the home garden. The seed which we supply was 

 secured from the originator in France, and is much better 

 than the American strain of Unrivaled Lettuce, which 

 does not always come true to type. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz,, 40 

 cts. ; y^ lb., $1.25. 

 Dreer's Wonderful. A very popular variety for sum- 

 mer planting. The large white heads resemble cabbage 

 in their solidity, and frequently weigh 2 and 3 lbs. each. 

 The quality is superb, being crisp, rich and tender. Pkt., 

 - lOcts. ; oz., 35 cts. ; ^ lb., $1.00. 



Dreer's Improved Hanson. This superior Lettuce, which 

 we originally introduced, is excellent for summer. The 

 heads grow to a reasonable size, and are solid, sweet, 

 tender and crisp. For outdoor culture it is unequaled.

 Dreer's "All Heart." This Cabbage Lettuce is excellent 

 for spring and summer use, as it stands the hot weather 

 very well. It is of a yellowish-green color, and forms a 

 solid heart, even before it is half grown. It is of superior 

 flavor. It is also sometimes used for forcing under glass.
