CURLED-LEAF LETTUCE 



S. S. Grand Rafids Lettuce 



486 S. S. Grand Rapids 



For years this splendid Lettuce has been growing more and 

 more popular as a forcing sort. It might be called the national 

 greenhouse Lettuce. Besides this, it is considered by most 

 gardeners the very best leaf Lettuce for table use. It originated 

 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has built up its reputation as a 

 forcing sort from one end of the country to the other. While it 

 is, perhaps, used more in the middle states than in any other 

 section of the country, there is a tremendous demand for it in 

 the East and South. Its growth is large and compact; leaves 

 finely cut and of a beautiful yellowish green. It is a quick grower 

 and a good shipper. Stands well before shooting to seed, and is 

 free from rot. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., V 4 lb. 75 Cts., lb. $2.25. 



480 Morse 



We believe this to be one of the very best and truest-to-type 

 of the curled-leaf Lettuces. The leaves are bright green, beau- 

 tifully wrinkled, blanching to a light yellow heart. It is good 

 for either early or summer use. This variety has been carefully 

 bred up for years, and the seed we offer will be found true and 

 right in every particular. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 Cts., V^b. 50 cts., 

 lb. $1.50.

This Lettuce is particularly advised for the man with the 

 home garden, as there is no necessity for planting it in hotbeds; 

 its hardy nature allows it to be planted outside very early. The 

 leaves are thin, tender and large, and make a very attractive 

 appearance. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., V 4 lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50.

S. S. Trianon Cos Lettuce 



(Romaine) 



The Cos Lettuce is distinctive in having long, narrow leaves, 

 folding into loose, sugar-loaf-shaped heads, which blanch 

 better by having the outer leaves drawn about them and tied. 

 They can be eaten like celery or as a salad with oil dressing. In 

 some countries, particularly in France, this variety is used very 

 extensively. The Trianon Cos is a self-folding, medium-large 

 variety, of fine, crisp quality, blanching to an almost pure white.

 mer, and always makes a fine appearance. Splendid for filling
