Dreer's Hanson Lettuce 



Romaine or Cos Lettuce 



This type "saves the day" when during hot 

 weather nearly all other lettuces "shoot" seed stalks. 



466 Kingsholm Cos. Forms long, firm, upright 

 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.; J 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.; oz., 30 cts.; i lb., 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.,
