LETTUCE. 



(LATTICH.) 



One Ounce to 1,000 Plants; Two Pounds to the Acre. 



CULTURE OF LETTUCE.— Sow the seed in hot beds in February or March, and transplant into a 

 sheltering border with a southern exposure. For successive crops sowing may be made in the open ground as 

 early as the spring opens, and continuing until July. Always thin out well, or the plants will not be strong. 

 When wanted as a cut salad, sow the seed thickly in rows or broadcast. 



BOLGIANO'S WHITE LOAF LETTUCE. 



BOLGIANO'S WHITE LOAF LETTUCE. 



Gilt edge stock for careful growers. The best of 

 all. Has large, solid heads, suitable for frames or 

 out-door. The most experienced truckers pro- 

 nounce our White Loaf Lettuce the best they ever 

 grew. Lettuce in frames and out-door is a most 

 important item with our large truckers. To suit 

 their purpose a lettuce must form a reliable head, 

 be crisp, with pleasant flavor. These qualities 

 they find in our White Loaf, which is used in large 

 quantities for fall and spring sowing, and makes a 

 paying crop. Packets 5 cents and 10 cents ; ounce, 

 15 cents ; 2 ounces, 25 cents ; % pound, 35 cents ; 

 pound, $1.00.

 tuce — .A perfect heading out-door lettuce, espe-

does equally well for forcing under glass in hot- 

 beds, cold frames, greenhouses and for outside 

 cultivation. Packets, 5 cents and 35 cents ;

 cents; pound, $1 50.

 ble. We recommend it to all. Packets, 5 cents and 10 cents ; ounce, 15 cents ; 2 ounces, 25 cents ; l 4 pound,

 able new lettuce, which withstands hot summer heat 

 without becoming bitter or running to seed, and pro- 

 duces cabbage-like heads of large size and superior 

 quality. Outside it is a pale green, and inside holds 

 a large crisp heart of cream yellow color and delicious 

 buttery flavor. It is the result of continuous careful 

 selections, and shows how intelligent attention im- 

 proves the lettuce. The most careful growers give 

 particular praise, and consider it first-class in all re- 

 spects. It will please you. Packets, 5 cents and 10

 the early spring months this splendid lettuce does its 

 best, producing large, cabbage-like heads, which are

 prices in the market. Although a new variety, it has 

 already had a favorable introduction and won ap- 

 proval from our best lettuce growers. Packets, 5 

 cents and 10 cents ; ounce, 15 cents ; 2 ounces, 25 

 cents ; % pound, 40 cents ; ]/ 2 pound, 75 cents ;

FAMOUS NEW EARLY SPRING LETTUCE. 



Mammoth Black Seed Butter Lettuce.— 



In atrial of several hundred lettuce we were impressed 

 with this kind for summer use. It makes a large 

 light green head ; the leaves are slightly crimped like 

 our White Loaf. It withstood the summer heat and 

 made a finer appearance than any other sort, matur- 

 ing at the same time. We reccommend this sort to 

 our trade with much confidence. Packets, 5 cents 

 and 10 cents ; ounce, 15 cents ; % pound, 40 cents ;
