SUMMER LETTUCE 



BLACK SEED. 



This Lettuce is becoming 1 very 

 popular among gardeners, and bids 

 fair to eclipse all others for summer 

 ^aise. It produces a splendid large, 

 solid head, of the cabbage type, re- 

 maining a long time in prime con- 

 dition without going to seed ; in 

 fact, it is often necessary for the 

 -seed growers to slit open the head 

 in order to allow the seed stalk, a 

 <3hance to develop. It is of a light 

 g - reen color, fine quality, crisp ten- 

 der, and nearly every plant will 

 make a fine, solid head in the hottest 

 weather, when other varieties re- 

 fuse even to grow.
