G. & T. CO.'S TRUE STOCK. 



Liarge Heads, Beautiful Heads, Solid Heads, Stands

THIS new Lettuce, which we introduced a few years aszo, 

 and claimed to be one of the best ever put on the mar- 

 ket, and which produced such a sensation among the 

 large growers who tried it, still holds a high place 

 among Lettuce. As soon as the growers discovered its 

 merits they came for more seed, and recommended it to all 

 tbeir friends; these, in turn, were delighted with their crops 

 as the result more than justified all we claimed for it A 

 grower at Gardenville, Md., says: "I had 3000 heads of your 

 Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce, and they all headed but one- they 

 are slow to run to seed." The heads are large and solid; color 

 pretty light green, and very slow to seed; in fact, it is iust 

 what the trucl;ers and gnrdeners want. A large trucker in 

 New Jersey writes: "The Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce I had of 

 you was certainly very fine."
