LETTUCE-Continued 



STTUaiEB lETTUCE 



lETTTTCE — Lettuce requires rich and rather moist soil. The rows should be about 18 inches apart, and the plants thinned 

 to 10 or 12 inches apart for the leading varieties. The more rapid growth, the better the quality. Some varieties are pe- 

 culiarly adapted for early culture, others for summer growth. 



G. & T. CO.'S WHITE SEED STTMMEB XiETTTTCE — Tbe 

 Best Summer Iiettnce Ever Introduced — This variety has 

 exceeded our expectation This Lettuce will stand the sum- 

 mer heat better than most sorts, and makes magnificent 

 heads. It has a beautiful green color; head solid; light 

 leaves, nicely crinkled; very tender, and of most excellent 

 flavor. 



ITEW TOBK - WONDEBFTTIi or iOS ANGEZiES — Er- 

 roneously called Iceberg. The most talked of Lettuce to- 

 day. It is grown largely in California and the West, 

 shipped to the Eastern markets under the name of Iceberg. 

 It is a crisp heading variety, producing very compact 

 heads, with green leaves, slightly curled on edges. 



BIiACE SEED SXTUaiEB LETTUCE — This lettuce is be- 

 coming verv popular among gardeners for summer use; 

 of the Cabbage type, remaining a long time in prime

 make a head.

 and tender, with pink tinge on edge. 



EABLY FBIZE HEAD (Seed White) — A large, clustering, 

 non-heading lettuce, most excellent for the home and garden, 

 and undoubtedly the most easily grown variety in cultiva- 

 tion. It is too tender, however, to stand shipping or handl- 

 ing on the market. The leaves are finely curled and crumpled, 

 bright green tinged with brownish red, and are very crisp, 

 tender and sweet.

 cellent for salads; forms a compact mass of leaves.

 heads within a few weeks after planting. It is medium sized, 

 light green, with buttery but crisp heads. There is just a 

 faint tint of brown on the head. 



We have had no end of praise from our friends and cus- 

 tomers who have tried this variety. It is essentially a spring 

 sort, and does well all summer. Being of rapid growth and 

 quick heading, it is especially recommended for home garden, 

 and is universally esteemed. 



GBAND BAPIDS— This variety is considered by many the 

 best loose-headed Lettuce for forcing under glass. Leaves 

 medium size, of light, yellowish green color, much crimpled 

 and frilled, thin, but of very upright growth; crisp, tender 

 and of good quality. 



DEFIAirCE (Sommer) — Stands summer heat better than 

 any other variety; one of the finest large-growing varieties. 

 It forms very large, solid heads, so firm that they have to be 

 cut open to allow the flower heads to come through.

 ers and gardeners around Baltimore and Norfolk that for 

 them it scarcely needs description. For the benefit of those

 and crisp. This is unsurpassed for frame use, and is also an 

 excellent outdoor lettuce for fall or early spring.
