Earliest ^^Wayahead^^ 



Shows a remark- 

 able combination 

 of earliness. firm heading character, handsome ap- 

 pearance and fine quality. Both in coldframes early 

 in the Spring and in the open ground — in Spring. 

 Summer and early Fall months — it has proved to be 

 not only the A'ery earliest and surest heading of all 

 early Lettuces we have ever grown, but also of the 

 very finest quality at all seasons. The outer leaves 

 are a fight green, while all the inner leaves of the 

 head are nicely blanched to a rich butter-yellow 

 tint. Earliest "Wayahead"" stands a longer time 

 before running to seed than anv other earlv head 



variety. Pkt. 10c. . oz. 20c.,
