THIS new I-ettuce, whicli we introduced a few years ago, 

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

 ket, and which produced sach a sensation among the 

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

 lettuce. As soon as the growers discovered its merits they 

 came tor more seed, and recommended it to all their friends; 

 tliese, in turn, were delighted witli tlieir crops, as the result 

 more tlian justihed all we claimed for it. A grower at Gar- 

 denville, Md., says: "I had 3000 lieads 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 wliat the 

 truckers and gardeners want. A large trucker in New Jersey 

 writes: "Tl;e Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce I had of you was 

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