Frotscher's N. O. Improved 

 Large Passion. This is a Cab- 

 bage Lettuce introduced by 

 Richard Frotscher from Cali- 

 fornia; it attains a large size; 

 grows slowly, but heads very 

 Tiard. It does better here dur- 

 ing late autumn and winter 

 than in summer, as it cannot 

 ■stand the heat. If sown late in 

 the fall and transplanted dur- 

 ing winter, it grows to very 

 large heads, hard and firm. This 

 Is the kind shipped from here 

 In the spring, and cannot be 

 surpassed for that purpose.
