Lechuga Sattic^ Laitue 



Culture. — For early summer use, sow in hotbeds in March, 

 and every two weeks for succession. Transplant to rows 2 feet 

 apart and 8 to 12 inches apart in the row. For winter use, sow 

 in August, transplant to frames, using the early heading varie- 

 ties. The Cos varieties must be tied up a few days in order 

 to blanch. 

 One ounce of seed will produce 3,000 plants; two pounds to the acre 



Heading Varieties 



BIG BOSTON. Standard variety used by large growers 

 throughout the country, for early spring and late fall crop. 

 Produces a large, solid cabbage-like head. The few outer 

 leaves are light green while the center is white, very 

 brittle, and sweet. 



iano's Masterpiece. Sure header; very solid; beau- 

 titully blanched; crisp as ice; 

 mild, tender, sweet, delicious flavor. Does well in any 

 section of the country A very profitable Lettuce to grow. 

 We recommend this variety very particularly for its com- 

 bination of all desirable qualities for both home and 

 market use. 



BOLGIANO'S SURE SUMMER HEADER. This is the best midsum- 

 mer variety, resisting heat and drought, and remains in a heading con- 

 dition longer than any other. It is a sure header in the hottest, driest 

 weather and proves a big success when all others fail. The heads are of 

 good size, very solid, and bright, fresh green. 



HANSON. Heads large, solid, crisp, and tender. One of the finest market 

 varieties for the summer months. 



ICEBERG. The heads are large, crisp, solid, and tender. 



MAY KING. Handsome, light green, but often the edges of the outer 

 leaves have a brownish tinge. It is of medium size, excellent quality, 

 and matures exceptionally early, attaining usable size before other sorts. 



NEW YORK or WONDERFUL LETTUCE. A decidedly crisp variety; 

 strictly cabbage head. Very large. Extremely slow to shoot to seed. 

 Hardy, well blanched; sweet, delicious flavor. 



WAYAHEIAD. Shows a remarkable combination of earliness, firm head- 

 ing, handsome appearance, and fine quality. The outer leaves are light 

 green, and the inner -head blanches to rich, buttery yellow. Retains its 

 good quality throughout the season and stands longer without going to 

 seed than many others.
