LEEK 



Giant Italian Leek 



Culture. — Sow very early in the spring, in drills 6 inches apart; 

 thin out to 2 inches apart in the row. When about 7 inches high, 

 transplant them in rows 12 inches apart and as deep as possible, but 

 do not cover the young center leaves. Draw earth up to them as 

 they grow. Take up and store in earth in a cool cellar before winter. 

 The seeds may also be sown in September and the young plants 

 transplanted in the spring to where they are to remain. One ounce 

 will sow 100 feet of drill and produce about 1,000 plants. 



New Giant Italian. This new Leek from Italy is fully twice the size of the ordinary London Leek, and much handsomer in appearance, 

 Like the Italian onions, it is very mild and agreeable in flavor; extremely hardy and a fine keeper. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., %\h. 45 cts., 

 lb. $1.50.

LETTUCE 



Culture. — For early summer use, sow in hotbeds in March, sowing every two weeks for succession. Transplant the young plants to 

 rows 2 feet apart and 8 to 12 inches apart in the row. For winter use, sow in August, transplant to frames ; and for this purpose the small- 

 heading varieties, such as the May King, are best adapted. The Cos varieties require to be tied up for a few days in order to properly 

 blanch them. 



One ounce will sow abont 100 feet and produce 3,000 plants 



Stokes' Big Boston Lettuce 



Stokes' Big Boston. 



This grand Lettuce is steadily gaining 

 in popularity, until now it is more ex- 

 tensively grown than any other variety, either for private table or by 

 the market-gardener. Whether grown in the open ground for sum- 

 mer and fall use or in frames for spring and early summer, or forced 

 in greenhouses for winter use, it invariably gives the greatest satis- 

 faction, producing large, fine, buttery yellow heads, thoroughly 

 blanched leaves, crisp, tender, sweet and white. It has compara- 

 tively few outside leaves and stands as long as any before shooting 

 to seed. It is grown in enormous quantities in the southern states 

 for shipping to northern markets, and it grows equally well in the 

 central and northern states. In fact, there is no other variety that 

 gives such great satisfaction under every possible condition, and 

 for that reason is one of the most profitable varieties to grow. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., KIb. 45 cts., lb. I1.50. 



Mammoth Salamander. 



In the New Mammoth Salamander 

 we have a variety which possesses 



New Early May King. 



all the desirable qualities of the old Salamander, but grows to double 

 the size. It is today the most rapid seller in New York and Phila- 

 delphia markets and always brings good prices. Pkt. 10 cts., oz, 

 15 cts., Klb. 45 cts., lb. $1.50. 



This valuable new Lettuce comes 

 from Germany. It is, without any 

 question, one of the best Lettuces on the list for early spring plant- 

 ing in the open ground. The heads are 5 to 7 inches in diameter, 

 with the outer leaves very closely folded in. The heads are of a 

 clear light green, the outer leaves being slightly tinged with brown, 

 the inner being clear, bright yellowish, with very rich oily flavor, 

 which adds much to its other good qualities. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., 

 l{\h. 40 cts., lb. $1.35. 



George Popp, Jr., of Fort Recovery, Ohio, writes : "The seed I ordered from you last spring gave great satisfaction, 

 of your catalogues. Mine got misplaced and I can't do without one."
