COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



i 



DENVER MARKET LETTUCE. 



This new Lettuce is highly recommended by 

 the introducer, who describes it as an earl} 

 variety of Head Lettuce, either for forcing or 

 open ground. It forms large solid heads of a good 

 light green color, and is very slow to go to seed. 

 The leaves are beautifully curled and crimped 

 (like the Savoy Cabbage), and very crisp and 

 tender and of excellent flavor. The crimped 

 leaves distinguish it from any other kind of Let- 

 tuce now grown. The shape of the head resembles 

 somewhat the " Hanson " but is more oblong. 

 Per pkt., 10 cts., oz., 25 cts., % lb.. 75 cts. 



GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE. 



This grand new forcing variety has been raised in the 

 vicinity of Grand Rapids for a number of years where it has 

 been jealously guarded by the few gardeners who had the true 

 stock, enabling them to secure the highest prices for forced 

 Lettuce. It stands more neglect in the way of watering and 

 ventilation, will grow more weight on the same ground and 

 wiU stand longer after it has matured. It is of handsome ap- 

 pearance, a strong grower, very crisp and tender and not 

 apt to rot and will keep from wilting longer while exposed 

 for sale than any other sort. 



Per pkt.. 10 cts.. oz.. 25 cts.. Ji lb., 75 cts. 



GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE. 



DIXIE WATER MELON- 



In this we have a new Water Melon of 

 excellent merits and we can recommend it 

 to our customers as the beat shipping Melon 

 grown, being larger, earlier and far more 

 productive than the Kolb's Gem which has 

 heretofore been considered the best melon 

 for shipping. It is of a very fine appear- 

 ance, being ;i much darker green than 

 Kolb's Gem and more beautifully striped; 

 it is longer and extremely hardy, while its 

 eating quality is unexcelled, being sweet 

 and juicy and tender. Another very im- 

 portant point is its great productiveness, 

 having six to eight large Melons on a vine. 



Per pkt.. 10 cts., oz.. 20 cts., K lb.. 50 cts., lb., $1.50.
