CRISP-HEADED VARIETIES 



These form heads of closely 

 folded leaves, but are entirely 

 distinct in texture of foliage.

 mer, as the leaves are always 

 crisp, brittle and mild in flavor. 



Giant Glacier. This beautiful Lettuce is one of the best for sum- 

 mer use; large, light green heads 10 to 12 inches in diameter; 

 crumpled and swollen like Savoy cabbage. Interior being white, 

 crisp and tender ; one of the best to endure heat and drought. Pkt. 

 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Jilb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50.

 order of the "Hanson." In the "Iceberg," the head is quite solid, 

 with large, white, main ribs, with the leaves curled strongly to the 

 center. This tendency prevents the center of the head from being 

 exposed, and thus it gets thoroughly blanched and tender. Either 

 as an early spring, or as a midsummer Lettuce; it is always crisp 

 and tender. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., Klb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50. 



New York, or Wonderful. Another splendid summer sort with 

 large, dark green heads of immense size, with closely folded 

 leaves, the inner portion being beautifully blanched to rich golden 

 yellow. The outer leaves are a deep rich' green. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 

 cts., }^lb. 50cts., lb. I1.50. 



Hanson. This is one of the standard crisp-headed varieties, grow- 

 ing to a very large size, is uniformly a sure header; heads very 

 solid, and beautifully blanched, the mside being crisp, mild and 

 tender. It is one of the finest varieties grown for market during 

 mid-summer. Splendid for filling the barrels quickly. Pkt. 5 cts., 

 oa. 15 cts., Klb. 40 cts., lb. $1.25.
