LETTUCE— Continued 
The Midseason Butterheads 
For a continuous supply of high quality salads any of the follow- 
ing sorts should be sown at the same time as the earliest sorts and 
again 2 weeks later. 
450 California Cream Butter. Produces a large solid head 
and withstands most adverse weather. The leaves are thick, 
dark green tinged with brown and spotted. The interior of 
head is rich golden-yellow and quality very fine. Pkt., 10 
cts.; oz., 25 cts.; + lb., 75 cts. 
458 French Unrivaled. A handsome early Butterhead of 
extra choice quality. Will perfect closely folded heads, with 
golden hearts, within sixty days from sowing seeds. An all 
season variety for cool sections, but best for spring work, in 
the latitude of Philadelphia. Originators imported seed. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; 4 0z., 40 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; ¢ lb., $2.00. 
454 Improved Deacon. A well known summer cabbage head: 
very crisp, large and while of rather ‘“‘forbidding” green color 
and thick texture outside, holds a ‘Heart of gold” of choicest 
quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; } lb., 75 cts. 
475 Mammoth Salamander. Similar to Salamander de- 
scribed on previous page, but much larger, and leaves. prob- 
ably smoother. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; } lb., 85 cts. Dreer’s IMpRoveD Hanson LETTUCE 
The Crisp Heading Varieties 
462 Dreer’s Improved Hanson. Although introduced by us 
over fifty years ago, this Lettuce is still the prize winner of 
this type, and the fact that it is still offered by the leading 
seedsmen of the country is proof of its sterling qualities. 
It reaches a large size, with light green, curled leaves with 
fringed edges enclosing a white heart of remarkable solidity. 
Crisp and brittle all over, and free of the flat watery taste 
which some crispheads unfortunately have. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
2 oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; ¢ lb., $1.00. 
483 Dreer’s Wonderful. (See Specialties, page 7.) Pkt., 10 
cts.; 4.0z., 20 cts.; 0oz., 35 cts.; 4 lb., $1.00. 
464 Iceberg. The outer leaves are light green in color, tinged 
with brown, and their habit of branching towards the centre 
of head is a great aid to the blanching of heart. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
4 oz., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; ¢ lb., $1.00. 
470 Mignonette. Heads small, compact; leaves curled, and 
edges tinted brown. Though of unattractive appearance, this 
is one of the surest ‘“‘headers”’ and of particularly sweet quality. 
Pkt., 10.cts.; 3.0z., 20 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; tilb., $1.00. 
FRENCH UNRIVALED LETTUCE 
Romaine or Cos Lettuce 
This type “‘saves the day”’ when nearly all other 
lettuces go on a strike and “‘shoot”’ seed stalks. 
466 Kingsholm Cos. Forms long, firm, up- 
right plants with narrow leaves, which are 
crisp and refreshing, withstanding the summer 
heat. Light green in color and a very reliable 
variety for late use. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; 
x lb., 85 cts. 
473 Paris White Cos. One of the best known. 
Plants erect, and tightly folded, leaves pale 
green and of good quality, which it retains for a 
long time. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 30 cts.; + Ib., 85 
cts. 
479 Trianon Cos. Sown at the same time as the 
head Lettuces, this variety perfects compact, 
upright, tightly folded cones within sixty days 
of sowing the seeds. It folds of its own accord, 
no tying being required, and inside leaves 
bleach naturally to a most attractive greenish 
white. It is an ideal Lettuce for sowing again 
during June for use during August when regular 
head Lettuces will not form solid plants. Pkt., RoMAINE oR Cos LETTUCE 
10 cts.; 4 0z., 20 cts.; oz., 30 cts.;  Ib., 85 cts. We offer 3 fine strains opposite.
