In table quality this lettuce is perfection itself It is wholly 

 ree from bitter taste, having a sweet and rich flavor, even to 

 he outer leaves. It remains long in good table condition after 

 caching maturity, and resists heat and drought well, and is 

 ^ery slow to run to seed. Its ability to remain sweet and ten- 

 ler is one of the leading characteristics; m fact, this feature 

 listinguishes Maule's from the ordinary stocks of Hanson. 



It is a perfect open air lettuce in all respects. It is hardy 

 md may be set out in earliest spring or grown late in the fall 

 5very year increases the already wide demand for my strain 

 )f Improved Hanson, and no lettuce has a wider American 

 Dopularity than this hard heading cabbage lettuce. 



Packet, 10 cts.; ounte, 20 cts.; ^ pound, 60 cts.; pound, $2.00. 



Some Seedsmen 



last fall were busy talk- 

 ing about a seed famine. 

 This is nonsense. In vegetables, carrots and peas are very 

 short. In grasses, Timothy and Kentucky Blue are the worst. 

 Still many prices in this book are even lower than last year. 



CRISP-AS-ICE LETTUCE. 



331 Crisp-aslcc lettuce 



A beautiful lettuce of the cabbage type. 

 The solid heads are of medium size, and the 

 leaves are so tender and brittle as to have 

 suggested the name bestowed upon it. The 

 head has a rich yellow heart. The leaves 

 are thick and glossy, somewhat curled, of a 

 good and attractive green color, variegated 

 with bronze. Crisp-as-Ice cannot be over- 

 estimated or overpraised for home use in 

 spring and summer or late in the fall. 



Pkt., 5 cfs.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25. 



332 Maule's Rosette Lettuce 



Rosette is pale green in color, almost yel- 

 low on top. The outer leaves are very much 

 rounded in outline, with a few broad, 

 coarse crimpings, and not nearly so pale in 

 coloT as the leaves which form the head. 

 It is regular in shape, and the head forms 

 quickly. It is slow to run to seed. It is 

 not the largest lettuce on the market in 

 spread of leaves, but in actual crop it out- 

 yields many larger sorts. I have been in 

 receipt of hundreds of letters praising my 

 Rosette Lettuce in highest terms. 



Pkt.. 10 cts.: oz.. 20 cts.: i lb.. 60 cts.: lb.. $2.00.
