 heads, which are tightly folded, the inner head bleaches to a 

 rich buttery yellow, while the outer leaves are of a light green 

 color. Quality excellent, very sweet and slightly buttery in 

 flavor, crisp and of firm texture, an excellent lettuce for sow- 

 ing in cold-frames in the early spring, as well as in the open 

 ground in spring or fall. A desirable home or garden sort.

 large size; white, tender, crisp and of good flavor. The outer leaves 

 are dotted with brown. Very hardy, well adapted to culture in cold 

 frames in winter; also suitable for forcing or for open air culture. 

 Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 30 cts.; \± pound, 50 cts.; pound, SI. 73. 



MAULE'S SILVER ANNIVERSARY LETTUCE. 



322 Maule's Silver Anniversary 



Forms dense heads of bright green leaves that make it very 

 conspicuous in the garden. The leaves are crisp, tender and 

 juicy, and of genuine lettuce flavor, qualities that will recom- 

 mend it either for salads or garnishing. While one of the 

 earliest of the early, it endures the heat of summer as well, if 

 not better, than any other variety. It certainly is a valuable 

 sort, and is bound to win the favor of all who plant and culti- 

 vate it, either for home or market use. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; \ pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.75. 



319 Tenderheart Lettuce 



New Cabbage Head Variety 



A new early head lettuce of unusually fine quality. Grows about 10 

 inches across with every plant uniform in size and shape, and all head 

 but for a few outer leaves of pale green color slightly tinged with reddish 

 brown. The heads are large and round, tightly formed, tender, sweet 

 and crisp with waxy cream colored heart leaves of extra fine quality 

 and succulence. This fine new lettuce is not only very early and hardy, 

 withstanding the early summer heat splendidly, but has the additional 

 advantage of not running to seed for at least two weeks after the heads are 

 fully matured. Tenderheart will be found an unusually profitable sort. 



Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 20 cents ; i pound, 60 cents ; pound, $2.00.

 heads of superb quality; resists drought and heat well. Valuable for 

 home use or market. Pfct., 10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.
