BALTIMORE CABBAGE LETTUCE. 



Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce 



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 ago, 

 and claimed to be one of the best ever put on the market, 

 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 Gardenville. Md., 

 says: "I had 3000 heads of your Baltimore Cabbage 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 Jersey writes: "The 

 Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce I had of you was certainly very 

 fine." Pkts.. 5c. and lOe. Oi„ 20c. 1-4 lb., 50c. Lb., $1.50.
