E'lll^Aii B {Seed ichite). Plant large, forming a large, flat head, re- 

 f/illlvVll sembling tbat of a cabbage, and so slow to form a seed stalk 

 that it often fails to go to seed. Outer leaves bright green with promi- 

 nent light colored veins, inner leaves white and usually curved and twisted 

 at the base; very tender and sweet. We have seen heads of 

 this variety as large as a cabbage and about as solid. It is 

 the standard sunniier head lettuce.

Rt*Atl1tt T^llt^H ('^^^(^ black). An old sort noted for 

 DIV/WII UWl VII its hardiness. Leaves large, thick, green 

 tinged with brown. It always forms a large, solid head, 

 which is somewhat coarse looking, but the inner leaves are 

 beautifully blanched, exceedingly sweet, tender and well 

 flavored. Desirable becavise of its hardiness and fine qual- 

 ity. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; H Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



T\aj|^a«| (Seed ivhite). This does not make as large a 

 JLFvMVvII head as some others, but the heads formed are 

 very solid and of excellent flavor, and remain in condition 

 for use as long as any variety in cultivation. Plant medium 

 sized, with very few outer leaves, which are deep green and 

 very thick. The inner ones blanch to a bright yellow and 

 are exceedinglj- well flavored, crisp and tender. This is 

 certainly one of the best varieties for summer use.

be sown thickly and cut when the plants are very young. Leaves broad, 

 forming something of a head, and are frilled and blistered. Light green

^iltAtl*< 71 1 HI t^ ^t/ll* ^ (Seed ivhite'). A distinct sort of the Black 

 ^lllvll V Svl/llv vIMI Seeded Simpson tjTDe, but grows larger and 

 more rapidly, and its leaves are broader, thicker, darker and less frilled at 

 the edge. It forms a large, loose head, blanches well, and is of excellent 

 quality. The plants remain long in condition for use before running to 

 seed. Repeated trials, both for forcing and early planting outdoors, con- 

 vince us that this is a most valuable sort. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 16c; 2 Oz. 25c;

QiAND Rapids Lettuce. 



ferry's early Prize Bead ilS£'^i.^ry 



is still the best of the large, thin-leaved, clustering sorts for 

 the home garden, but it is not a good kind to ship long dis- 

 tances, as the leaves are so tender that they are easily 

 spoiled in handling. The leaves are very large, crimped, 

 bright green tinged with brownish-red, and are exceed- 

 ingly tender, crisp and sweet, forming a large, loose 

 head. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; 3^ Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00 



lit^/lttd R^tlld< ^ (Seed black). As a lettuce for 



Ol WIIM IxMfm^ greenhouse forcing, this variety un- 

 doubtedly stands at the head of the list, being of quick 

 growth, little liable to rot and standing for some days 

 after being fit to cut. The plant is upright, and forms a 

 loose head or cluster of large, light yellowish-green leaves, 

 slightly crimped and blistered and rather thin. It will 

 stand shipping long distances better than most sorts.
