Ive:ttuce 



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 the growth, the better the quality. Some va- 

 rieties are peculiarly adapted for early culture, others 

 for summer growth. 



G. & T. CO.'S WHITE SEED SUMMER 

 LETTUCE 



The Best Summer Xettuce Ever Introdaced.- — This va- 

 riety, introduced by us recently, has exceeded our ex- 

 pectation. 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. "We expect this sort to grow 

 in favor wherever known. It has a beautiful green color; 

 head solid; light leaves, nicely crinkled; very tender, 

 and of most excellent flavor. 



G. & T. CO.'S SUMMER LETTUCE (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 without 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 

 s'arieties refuse even to grow. 



IMPROVED NEW YORK, OR "WONDERFUL" 



Plants of extra large growth, producing heads of immense size under favorable conditions. Inner portion is beauti- 

 fully blanched and stands for a considerable time before running to seed. Outer leaves a deep, rich green.

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 r\ faint tint of brown on the head. 



We have had no end of praise from our friends and customers 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. 



"ICEBERG" LETTUCE 



The heads are large, crisp, solid and tender. 



EARLY PRIZE HEAD (^•■' 



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

 undoubtedly the most easily grown variety in cultivation. It is too tender, however, to 

 stand shipping or handling 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; excellent for salads; forms a compact mass of leaves. 



TENNIS BALL 



Black seed. A favorite forcing variety; a very hard head. 



ROMAINE OR WHITE PARIS COS

 head well folded and quite solid. Cos lettuce is also called Romaine, and is very popular 

 with our foreign population, for it is highly prized in England and France, while little 

 known to our own people.
