PASSION.— This is a Cabbage 

 Lettuce introduced by Richard 

 Frotscher; it attains a large size, 

 grows slowly, but heads very 

 hard. It does better here during 

 late Autumn and Winter than in 

 Summer, as it cannot stand the 

 heat. If sown late in the Fall and 

 transplanted during Winter it 

 grows to very large heads, hard 

 and firm. This is the kind 

 shipped from here in the Spring 

 and cannot be surpassed for that 

 purpose. Packet, 10c.; oz., 15c.; y^ 

 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.25, postpaid. 



PBIZE HEAD. — One of the fin- 

 est varieties ever introduced, 

 forming a very large head, but 

 not a solid one; the leaves are 

 slightly tinged with brown, and 

 is remarlcable for its crispness 

 and delicacy of flavor; is well 

 adapted for either forcing or outdoor cul 

 ture. Packet, 10c. ; oz., 15c.; ^4 lb., 35c.; lb 

 $1.25, postpaid.

PABIS WHITE COS, BOMAINE OB 

 CEIiEBT. — This kind of lettuce is distin- 

 guished by is long, narrow, spoon-shaped 

 leaves, folding into loose, sugar-loaf shaped 

 heads which blanch better by having the 

 outer leaves drawn about them and tied.

 Cabbage Lettuces and by many is consid- 

 ered very superior. Packet, 10c. ; oz., 15c.;

Xiarg'e Salamander. 



XmATL&II SALAMANDEB. — A desirable 

 variety for Summer or Fall use. forming

 drought remarkably well; very highly 

 recommended. It is undoubtedly the best 

 Summer variety, the heads will frequently 

 weigh from 2 to 3 pounds each. Packet, 

 10c.; oz., 15<j.; i/4 lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50, post- 

 paid. 



Trocadero. 



TBOCADEBO. — This is a fine forcing 

 variety for cold-frames during Winter 

 months, as it produces heads of very large 

 size, often ten to twelve inches across, and 

 succeeds better in a cooler temperature 

 than most forcing strains. The large 

 heads are beautifully blanched and of 

 superior quality. It heads well also in the 

 open ground during cool weather of Spring 

 and Fall, and is very popular in the South 

 to grow for shipping North. Packet, 10c.; 

 oz., 15c.; 14 lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50, postpaid. 



MAY KING. — This remarkable new cab- 

 bage Lettuce has proved itself capable of 

 satisfying the most exacting requirements 

 that could be made of an early outdoor 

 Lettuce. It is an excellent variety for 

 forcing. It is not in the least affected by 

 cold or wet weather, grows very quickly 

 and produces splendid globular heads, 

 which are already 10 to 14 days in advance 

 of any other, and which stands a long time 

 before running to seed. The outer leaves 

 are of a yellowish green, with light brown- 

 ish tinge, while the inner leaves are of a 

 golden yellow shade. Flavor unexcelled. 

 Packet, lOc; oz., 15c.; 14 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.25,
