LETTUCE-Continued 



IiETTTJCE — 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. 



a. & T. CO.'S WHITE SEED SXTMMEB I^ETTTTCE — The 



Best Summer Iiettuce Ever Introdnced — 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. 



XTEW YORK - WONDERrUL or liOS ANGEIiES — 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. 



BI^ACK SEED STTMMEB LETTUCE — This lettuce is be- 

 coming very popular among gardeners for summer use; 

 of the Cabbage type, remaining a long time in prime 

 condition, before going to seed. It is light green in color, 

 fine quality, crisp, tender, and nearly every plant will 

 make a head. 



"ICEBERG" XiETTUCE — The heads are large, crlsp, solid 

 and tender, with pink tinge on edge. 



EARI^ir PRIZE 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. 



EARI^T C1XRI.ED SIMPSON — Black seed. Very early; ex- 

 cellent for salads; forms a compact mass of leaves. 



MAY KING — A very early, new variety, forming fine, hard 

 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. 



GRAND RAPIDS — 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. 



DEFIANCE (Summer) — 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 fiower heads to come through. 



X.ARGE I.OAF I.ETTUCE — This is so well known to truck- 

 ers and gardeners around Baltimore and Norfolk that for 

 them it scarcely needs description. For the benefit of those 

 who are not acquainted with it, would say it makes large 

 compact heads, is of beautiful light green color, very tender 

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

 excellent outdoor lettuce for fall or early spring.
