LETTUCE 



LETTUCE — Lettuce requires rich and rather moist soil. The rows should be about 12 inches apart, and the plants thinned 

 to 10 or 12 inches apart for the leading varieties. The more rapid growth, the better the quality. Some varieties are pe- 

 culiarly adapted for early culture, others for summer growth. 



G. St T. CO.'S WHITE SEED SUMMER LETTUCE — The 

 Best Summer Lettuce Ever Introduced — This variety 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 heads. It has a beautiful 

 green color; head solid; light leaves, nicely crinkled; very 

 tender, and of most excellent flavor. 



NEW YORK - WONDERFUL or LOS ANGELES — Er- 

 roneously called Iceberg. The most talked of Lettuce to- 

 day. It is grown largely in California and the West, 

 shipped to the Eastern markets under the name of Iceberg. 

 It is a crisp heading variety, producing very compact 

 heads, with green leaves, slightly curled on edges. 



BLACK SEED SUMMER LETTUCE — This lettuce is be- 

 coming very popular among gardeners for summer use; 

 of the Cabbage type, remaining a long time in prime 

 condition, before going to seed. It is light green in color, 

 fine quality, crisp, tender, and nearly every plant will 

 make a head. 



"ICEBERG" LETTUCE — The heads are large, crisp, solid 

 and tender, with pink tinge on edge. 



EARLY PRIZE READ (Seed White) — A large, clustering, 

 non-heading lettuce, most excellent for the home and garden, 

 and undoubtedly the most easily grown variety in cultiva- 

 tion. It is too tender, however, to stand shipping or handl- 

 ing on the market. The leaves are finely curled and crumpled, 

 bright green tinged with brownish red, and are very crisp, 

 tender and sweet. 



EARLY CURLED SIMPSON— Black seed. Very early; ex- 

 cellent for salads; forms a compact mass of leaves. 



TENNIS BALI 



very hard head. 



-Black seed. A favorite forcing variets'; a 



MAY KING — A very early, new variety, forming fine, hard 

 heads within a few weeks after planting. It is medium sized, 

 light green, with buttery but crisp heads. There is just a 

 faint tint of brown on the head. 



We have had no end of praise from our friends and cus- 

 tomers who have tried this variety. It is essentially a spring 

 sort, and does well all summer. Being of rapid growth and 

 quick heading, it is especially recommended for home garden, 

 and is universally esteemed. 



GRAND RAPIDS — This variety is considered 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. 



DEFIANCE — 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. 



LARGE LOAF LETTUCE — This is so well known to truck- 

 ers and gardeners around Baltimore and Norfolk that for 

 them it scarcely needs description. For the benefit of those 

 who are not acquainted with it, would say it makes large, 

 compact 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.

ROMAINE OR WHITE 

 PARIS COS — The best 

 of the Cos or celery varie- 

 ties. Forms a large, light 

 green plant with the head 

 well folded and quite solid. 

 Cos lettuce is also called 

 Romaine, and is very popu- 

 lar with our foreign popu- 

 lation, for it is highly 

 prized in England and 

 France. 



HANSON — One of the 



most reliable sure-heading 

 sorts. Makes a large glo- 

 bular head. Color, light 

 green. Excellent quality. A 

 fine variety for summer 

 planting, as it stands hot 

 weather better than most 

 sorts. 



BALTIMORE OAK LEAF 



— 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. 



BOSTON MARKET— 



White seed. A celebrated 

 variety in New England, of 

 good heading habit; small, 

 early and compact; quite 

 desirable.
