Culture. — Sow in 

 hot-bed or the open 

 ground during- April 

 and May for summer 

 supply. Plants may 

 be grown on a tem- 

 porary bed and trans- 

 planted ; or the seed 

 may be sown where 

 the lettuce is to ma- 

 ture. For a perman- 

 ent bed, select rich 

 light soil, spade 

 deeply, incorparaie 

 manure and lay off in 

 drills two feet apart. 

 Destroy weeds and fc 

 hoe often. Seed may ^ 

 be sown in August 

 and September, and 

 plants treated as di- 

 rected for cabbage 

 plants, in which case 

 a covering of straw 

 will prove very ben- 

 eficial.

SALAMANDER LETTUCE. 



Compact ten- ! Iiuproved Hanson. — One of the 



]Vew Iceberg. — Quick growing. 

 Heads hard and handsome. Tender and 

 true. There is no handsomer or more solid 

 Cabbage Lettuce m cultivation — in fact, it 

 is strikingly beautiful. The large, curly 

 leaves which cover the outside of the h-ad 

 are of a bright, light green. The unusually 

 solidity of the heads is insured by the 

 large, white main ribs of the leaves, each 

 of which curving strongly into the center, 

 acts like a truss, making it impossible for 

 the leaves to open outward and expose the 

 center, which, consequently, is thoroughly 

 blanched, it matters not whether in the 

 early spring or the hottest days of summer, 

 the leaves are always crisp and tender.
