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 grow- 

 ers 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 justi- 

 fied 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 Bal- 

 timore Cabbage Lettuce I had of you was 

 certainly very fine." Pits., 5c. and 10c. 

 Oz., 2O0. l/i ITj., 40c. lib., $1.25. 



IiABGE Z;OAF I.BTTUCI:. 



This is so well known to truckers and 

 gardeners around Baltimore and Norfolk 

 that for them it scarcely needs description. 

 For the benefit of those who are not ac- 

 quainted with it, would say it makes large, 

 compact heads, is of beautiful light green 

 color, very tender and crisp. This is un- 

 surpassed for frame use, and is also an ex- 

 cellent outdoor lettuce for fall or early 

 spring.

 who know it.

BIG HEAD IiETTUCE. 



The "Big Head" is certain to please market gardeners and 

 truckers, because it always produces large, salable heads. It 

 is very solid and crisp, of tender quality, which makes it at- 

 tractive. Fkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 20c. ^ lb., 40c. lib., $1.25.

GRAND RAPIDS. 



This variety is largely grown for shipment, and is consid- 

 ered by many the best loose-headed Lettuce for forcing under 

 glass. Leaves medium size, of light, yellowish green color, 

 much crimpled and frilled, thin, but of very upright growth; 

 crisp, tender and of good quality. Owing to its upright habit, 

 it may be planted very closely. It is of extremely rapid 

 growth; not very liable to rot; will stand without spoiling a 

 week to ten days after it is fit to cut, and retains its freshness 

 a long time after cutting.

 the finest large-growing varieties. It forms very large, solid 

 heads, so firm they have to be cut open to allow the fiower 

 heads to come through.

 popular with truckers, as it makes large, solid, salable heads. 

 Very highly recommended by those who have tried it.
