IHIS 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 

 n l^'^ claimed for it. A grower at Gardenville, Sid., savs : "I had 

 ^,000 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 sardeners want. A large trucker 

 in New Jersey writes : "The Baltimore Cabba.ge Lettuce I had of 

 .vou was certainlv verv fine."
