WONDERFUL. 



San Francisco Market, or the Deacon Lettuce— This magnifi- 

 cent Butter Lettuce is unsurpassed for family garden or for market. With 

 The Deacon, even the amateur gardener can raise fine, solid, nicely blanched 

 heads equal to any the market affords. It stands hot weather better than 

 any other of the rich butter varieties, and seldom becomes acrid in flavor even 

 undor the greatest summer heat. Plants grow quickly and make firm heads 

 nearly as large and tight as a cabbage, there being but few outer leaves when 

 the head is f u!!y grown. The heads are light green outside, while the inner 

 blanched portion is beautiful cream yellow, of delicious, rich, buttery 



flavor. It is the result of more than 

 forty years careful selection in the 

 garden of a private family. Pkt.
