 White Loaf Lettuce the best they ever grew. Lettuce in 

 frames and outdoor is a most important item with our large 

 truckers. To suit their purpose a Lettuce must form a re-

 ities they find in our White Loaf, which is used in large

 crop. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Vi lb. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50.

 hot beds, cold frames, greenhouses and for outdoor cultiva-
