BALTIMORE CABBAGE LETTUCE 



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

 Large Heads, Beautiful Heads, Solid Heads; Stands Heat 

 Well. Best of all for FALL PLANTING. 



THIS new Lettuce, which we introduced a few years ago, 

 and claimed to be one of ths 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 Gar- 

 denville, Md., says: "I had 3000 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." Pkts., 5c. and 10c. Oz., 20c. V* lb., 40c.

LARGE LOAF LETTUCE. 



THIS is so well known to truckers nnd 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 unsurpassed for frame use, and is also an excellent outdoor 

 lettuce for fall or early spring.
