Mammoth Black Seed Butter 

 Lettuce. — In a trial of several hundred let- 

 tuce we were impressed with this kind for 

 summer use. It makes a large light green 

 head ; the leaves are slightly crimped like our 

 White Loaf. It withstood the summer heat 

 and made a finer appearance than any other 

 sort maturing at the same time. We recom- 

 mend this sort to our trade with much con- 

 fidence. Packets, 5 cents and 10 cents : ounce, 

 15 cents: \ pound. 35 cents: pound, $1.00. 



A perfect heading outdoor lettuce, especially during our 

 dry. hot summer, because it is long standing and always 

 tender and pleasant to the taste. It spontaneously 

 heads from the start, the heads growing lnrger as the 

 plant matures. It does equally well for forcing under 

 glass in hot-beds, cold frames, greenhouses and for out- 

 side cultivation. Packets, 5 cents and 10 cents ; ounce, 

 15 cents: 2 ounces, 25 cents: \ pound, 40 cents;
