37 



You should have Lettuce growing in your 

 garden until frost. Frequent planting should 

 be made until October, and for sowing during 

 the hot summer months the following varieties 

 are well adapted: 



Dreer's " All Heart." (See cut.) This 

 Cabbage Lettuce was introduced by us sev- 

 eral years ago, and has continually grown in 

 favor. It is excellent for both 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. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; ^ oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; 

 I lb., $1.25. 



Dreer's Wonderful. This is the Lettuce 

 which is grown so largely in California and 

 shipped throughout the whole country. It is 

 a very popular variety for summer planting, 

 and the large white heads resemble cabbage 

 in their solidity, frequently weighing 2 and 

 3 lbs. each. The quality is superb, being 

 crisp, rich and tender. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 

 30 cts.; i lb., 11.00. 



Dreer's Improved Hanson. This Su- 

 perior Lettuce, which we originally intro- 

 duced, is excellent for summer. The heads 

 grow to a reasonable size, and are solid, 

 sweet, tender and crisp. For outdoor cul- 

 ture it is unequalled. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 30 cts.; 1 lb., 85 cts. 



French Unrivaled. A sure-heading variety, which is suit- 

 able for growing at any season. Forms large, compact, but- 

 tery heads, and is slow to shoot to seed. The general char- 

 acter is similar to "Big Boston," except that the color is a 

 lighter green and leaves are not tinged with brown. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; ^ lb., $1.25.

 variety. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; J lb., 85 cts.
