slow to seed and early in forming. Its large golden heart 
with outside leaves of bright green make it pleasing to 
the eye and when used at the table is unsurpassed. ‘The 
leaves are crumpled and have none of the coarseness of 
other sorts. Packets, 5 and 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 4 
pound, 4o cents; pound, $1.25.

Your GOLDEN QUEEN LETTUCE brought me more money than I ever made on any lettuce before. They were 
fine, large and true. They were better than any I ever planted.

I send you a GOLD QUEEN LETTUCE which I had grown in a pot for you; they certainly were the best I ever saw; 
they made me money.
