LETTUCE— MIDSEASON BUTTERHEADS 



ALL, SEASONS. Easily the most reliable midsummer Butter- 

 head Lettuce. It even surpasses in "standing-" qualities 

 some of the crisphead Lettuces described on Page 16. 

 Fully developed heads average 10 to 12 inches in 

 diameter, and, while the outside leaves are a rather dull 

 green, the inside of the heads blanches to a most appe- 

 tizing yellow. 



MAMMOTH BLACK-SEEDED BUTTER. Enormous heads of 

 broad, crumpled leaves. Good early or late but, being very 

 heat-resistant, it is particularly valuable as a summer 

 Lettuce and its quality is excellent even in the hottest 

 weather. 



UNRIVALED SUMMER. Makes large, compact buttery heads 

 of fine quality. Resembles Big Boston but is suitable for 

 planting at all seasons.

Iceberg Lettuce 



COS LETTUCE 



Also known as Celery Lettuce and Romai ne Salad. They produce loose heads of long, 

 narrow leaves which are blanched by tying them together at the top. 



TRIANON or PARIS WHITE FOLDING A very heat-resistant variety. Long, sugar-loaf- 

 shaped heads of very superior quality. 



LEEKS 



Leeks, as a salad, are simply delicious. Boil the white part of the stalks until tender. 

 Then cool and cut into 2-inch pieces; add French salad dressing and serve moderately cold. 

 Used also for seasoning soups and boiling with meats. The seed, which proves Leeks a 



member of the onion family, should be sown in hotbeds 

 in early spring, and the seedlings transplanted later to 

 the open ground, 4 to 6 inches apart, in rows from 12 to 

 15 inches apart. For winter supply sow seed in the open 

 ground in early spring, and thin the seedlings until they 

 have room for development, or transplant them as above. 

 Store like celery for winter. An ounce of seed will sow 

 about 100 feet of drill. 



AMERICAN FLAG. The variety most extensively culti- 

 vated. Stalks early and large. 



LARGE CARENTAN. Stalks thick and short; hardy and 

 mild-flavored. 



American Flag Leek. 

 A great delicacy 



Early Purple Vienna Kohlrabi 



KOHLRABI or TURNIP-ROOTED CABBAGE 



Very palatable when prepared for the table like turnips. Kohlrabi, however, is way 

 ahead of turnips in quality, while young. Besides, it keeps better on account of its 

 thick skin. The best time to use Kohlrabi is when the roots average 2 to 2% inches 

 in diameter. If the weather is favorable, the seed should be sown in April, in rows 18 

 inches apart, and the seedlings thinned to stand 4 to 6 inches apart. They are fit for 

 use when 2 to 3 inches in diameter. For late crops, sow seed in June or July. An ounce 

 of seed will produce 2,500 plants. 



EXTRA-EARLY WHITE VIENNA. The earliest variety. The plants grow rapidly and 

 mature fine, round, white bulbs, with tender and delicately flavored flesh. This is an 

 excellent, forcing strain with very small foliage. 



EARLY PURPLE VIENNA. Supposed to resist heat better than the White Vienna). 

 Bluish purple roots; flesh white and tender. A very reliable sort. 



WHITE GOLIATH. A heat resisting variety, producing large bulbs of good quality.
