LOOSE LEAVED VARIETIES 



BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON One of the best in its class. It 

 is of large size, light yellowish green and the leaves have 

 much substance. The interior leaves are crisp and sweet. 

 It is especially recommended for home garden use and 

 should be left quite thick in the row, not more than 4 to 6 

 inches apart to insure upright growth and complete blanch- 

 ing of the inside leaves.

CHICKEN LETTUCE We offer American grown seed of this 

 foreign variety which is of little value for table use but is in 

 great demand among poultry raisers for feeding chickens. 

 If thinned to about 8 inches it will form a large cluster of 

 leaves and will rapidly run to seed. It furnishes an abundant 

 supply of green feed for poultry when the seed stalk is 

 about 2 feet tall. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.50. 



EARLY CURLED SIMPSON This is much like Black Seeded 

 Simpson in form and habit but is darker green in color and 

 somewhat hardier. The leaves are blistered and slightly 

 frilled and the plants present a handsome appearance. This 

 variety is well adapted for sowing thickly in the home gar- 

 den for use when the plants are young.

Prize Head 



Early White Self Folding Cos 



GRAND RAPIDS The most beautifully curled and frilled of 

 the loose-leaved class. It is glossy light green in color and 

 the plants are strikingly compact in growth. When grown 

 in a row in the garden the plants should be left quite thick. 

 It will form very sweet tender leaves and if given partial 

 shade will prove especially dehcate and tasty. 

 Pkt. 10c; OZ. 25c; 1/4 lb. 65c; lb. $2.00. 



PRIZE HEAD One of the earhest and best known lettuces in 

 cultivation. The outer leaves are deeply tinged with brown 

 and are distinctly blistered and curled. The inside leaves are 

 light emerald green, very crisp and tender and have a sweet 

 flavor quite distinct from that of any other variety. It 

 requires a minimum of attention and is recommended for 

 home gardens. Should be left fairly thick in the row; not 

 more than 4 to 6 inches apart. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; 1/4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.50. 



COS or ROMAINE 



This class is quite distinct from the other classes of lettuce. 

 It is frequently called celery lettuce on account of its erect habit 

 of growth and because it possesses dark colored spatulate leaves 

 with prominent midribs. For best results it should be planted for 

 late summer or early fall use as it does not make solid heads in 

 hot weather. When grown in the home garden each plant should 

 have ample room and should be thinned to about 8 inches apart. 



DARK GREEN The outside appearance of this variety is 

 dark green but the interior is decidedly lighter. The heads 

 are about 7 or 8 inches in height and when fully blanched 

 are white with the faintest tint of green and the midribs 

 are white at heart. The quahty is especially succulent and 

 sweet. 

 Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 65c; lb. $2.00. 



EARLY WHITE SELF FOLDING COS This is the most 

 popular variety in America and the one most widely used. 

 It is medium large and grows about 8 or 9 inches tall. The 

 outer leaves are medium light green, and the interior of 

 the head is whitish green. As a salad variety for the home 

 garden this has no superior.
