Lettuce requires a rich and rather moist soil. The rows 

 should be about 12 inches apart, and the plants thinned to 10 

 or 12 inches apart lor the leading varieties. The more rapid 

 the growth, the better the quality. Some varieties are pe- 

 culiarly adapted for early culture, others for summer growth. 



fi. & T. Co.'s White Seed 

 Summer Lettuce 



The Best Sniumer Iiettuce Ever Introduced. — This variety, 

 introduced by us recently, has exceeded our expectation. 

 Those who purchased it were delighted with their crops, and 

 came back for more seed. This Lettuce will stand the summer 

 heat better than most sorts, and makes magnificent head.s. 

 We expect this sort to grow in favor wherever known. It has 

 a beautiful green color; head solid; light leaves, nicely crink- 

 led; very tender, and of most excellent flavor. Flct., 5c. Oz.,

G. & T. CO.'S SUMMER I.ETTUCE (Black Seed). 



This Lettuce is becoming very popular among gardeners for 

 summer use. It produces a splendid large, solid head, of the 

 Cabbage type, remaining a long time in prime condition with- 

 out going to seed; in fact, it is often necessary for the seed 

 growers to slit open the head in order to allow the seed stalk 

 a chance to develop. It is of a light green color, fine quality, 

 crisp, tender, and nearly every plant will make a fine, solid 

 head in the hottest weather, when other varieties refuse even 

 to grow. Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 20c. 14 lb., 30c. tb., $1.00.
