BALTIMORE CABBAGE LEHUCE 



G. & T. CO.'S TRUE STOCK. 



Large Heads, Beautiful Heads, Solid Heads; Stands Heat 

 Well. Best of all for FALL PLANTING. 



THIS new Lettuce^ which we introduced a few years agro, 

 and claimed to be one of the best ever put on the mar- 

 ket, 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 Gar- 

 denville, Md., says: "I had 3000 heads of your Baltimore Cab- 

 bage Lettuce, and they all headed but one; they are slow to 

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

 light green, and very slow to seed; in fact, it is just what the 

 truckers and gardeners want. A large trucker in New Jer- 

 sey writes: "The Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce I had of you 

 was certainly very fine." Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Or.., 20c. 14
