LETTUCE. — Continued. 



Beckert's Brown Curled or Chartier. A similar type to 

 the preceding. Splendid both for forcing and out-door culture. 

 In size and habit it closely resembles the preceding except in 

 color. When £rown under glass it is of a whitish color, but 

 in the open air it turns very brown, remaining, however, 

 very tender and crisp. Very desirable. Pkt., 5 cts ; oz., 

 25cts.; lib., 75cts. 



Denver Market. An early variety of Head Lettuce, 

 either for forcing or open ground. It forms large solid heads 

 of a good light green color, and is very slow to go to seed. 

 The leaves are beautifully marked and blistered (like the 

 Savoy Cabbages) , and very crisp and tender, and of excellent 

 flavor. By these blistered leaves it distinguishes itself from 

 any other kind of Lettuce now grown. The shape of the 

 head resembles somewhat the "Hanson," but is more oblong.
