This new Lettuce, which we introduced a few years ago, and claimed 

 to be one of the best ever put on the market, and which produced such a 

 sensation among the large growers who tried it, still holds a high place 

 among lettuce. As soon as the growers discovered its merits they came 

 for more seed, and recommended it to all their friends; these in turn were 

 delighted with their crops, as the result more than justified all we claimed 

 for it. A grower at Gardenville, Md., says, "I had 3,000 heads of your 

 Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce, and they all headed but one; they are slow 

 to run to seed." The heads are large and solid; color pretty liglit green, 

 and very slow to seed; in fact, it is just what the truckers and gardeners 

 want. A large trucker in Nev,' Jersey writes: "The Baltimore Cabbage 

 Lettuce I had of you was certainly very fine." 



XiARGB X.OAF ZiBTTTTCE 



This is so well known to truckers and gardeners around Baltimore and 

 Norfolk that for them it scarcely needs description. For the benefit of 

 those who are not acquainted with ii, would say it makes large, com- 

 pact heads, is of beautiful light green color, very tender and crisp. This 

 is unsurpassed for frame use, and is also an excellent outdoor lettuce for 

 fall or early spring.

This lettuce will resist the heat of summer and stand 

 longer before running to seed than any variety we have ever 

 known. It makes a large, solid head, and is very popular 

 with those who know it. 



HANSON. 



A variation of the Indiana, forming a half-closed head. 



BOSTON MARKBT 



White seed. A celebrated variety in New England, of good 

 heading habit; small, early and compact; quite desirable. 



GRAND RAFIDS 



This variety is largely grown for shipment, and is consid- 

 ered by many the best loose-headed Lettuce for forcing under 

 glass. Leaves medium size, of light, yellowish green color, 

 much crimpled and frilled, thin, but of very upright growth; 

 crisp, tender and of good quality. Owing to its upright 

 habit, it may be planted very closely. It is of extremely 

 rapid growth; not very liable to rot; will stand without spoil- 

 ing a week to ten days after it is fit to cut, and retains its 

 freshness a long time after cutting:. 



DBFIANCB. 



Stands summer heat better than any other variety; one of 

 the finest large-growing varieties. It forms very large, solid 

 heads, so firm that they have to be cut open to allow the 

 flower heads to come through. 



BIG BOSTON 



The same in color, shape and general appearance as the 

 Boston Market, double the size. A most desirable sort either 

 for forcing in cold frames or planting in open ground. Is 

 popular with truckers, as it makes large, solid, salable heads. 

 Very highly recommended by those who have tried it.
