THIS new Lettuce, which we introducecl a few years ago, 

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

 ket, and wliich produced such a sensation among tlie 

 large growers who tried it, still holds a high place among 

 lettuce. As soon as the growers discovered its merits tliey 

 came for more seed, and recommended it to all tlieir friends; 

 these, in turn, were delighted with their crops, as the result 

 more than justified all we claimed for it. A grower at Gar- 

 denville, Md., says: "I had 3000 heads of your Baltimore Cab- 

 bage 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 just what the 

 truckers and gardeners want. A large trucker in New Jersey 

 writes: "The Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce I had of you was 

 certainly very fine." Fkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 20c. lb., 40c. 

 lib., $1.25.
