Maule's Improved Hanson Lettuce 



In table quality this lettuce is perfection itself. It is wholly 

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

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

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

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

 der is one of the leading characteristics; in fact, this feature 

 distinguishes Maule's from the ordinary stocks of Hanson. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter 



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

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

 It is a well known and well tried sort and its merits have 

 been proven on the market. Every year increases the already 

 wide demand for our strain of Improved Hanson, and no let- 

 tuce has a wider American popularity than this hard heading 

 cabbage lettuce.
