Sialtimore Cabbage jCettuce, 



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



Large heads, beautiful heads, solid heads, stands heat well. 

 Best of all for Fall Planting. 



^■fc^HIS new Lettuce, which we introduced a few years ago, 

 g\ 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 Gardenville, Mary- 

 land, sa> s: "I had three thousand 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 Jersey writes : "The 

 Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce I had of you was certainly very fine."

 and of good quality. Owing to its upright habit, it may be planted

 very little liable to rot; will stand without 

 spoiling a week to ten days after it is fit to cut,
