LETTUCE— Continued 



WHITE lOir IETTUC[ 



A large heading Lettuce, with a light 

 green color; crisp and tender; un- 

 surpassed for outdoor planting in 

 the fall to stand over winter, and 

 equally good for cold frame cul- 

 ture. I do not recommend it for 

 early spring sowing as it has a ten- 

 dency to shoot to seed when the 

 weather becomes warm. Pkts., 5 and 

 lOc; oz., 15c.; J4 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



HUBBARD MARKET.— The best and 

 most popular variety for outdoor 

 growing. Makes large, solid heads of 

 excellent quality. Stands cold' weath- 

 er better than other kinds, being de- 

 cidedly hardier than the Big Boston, 

 Very popular and salable for mar- 

 ket, and is also a most desirable 

 variety for home use. Pkts., 5 and 

 lOc; oz., 15c.; 54 lb., 3Sc.; lb., $1.00. 



PERFECTED SALAMANDER or SATISFACTION.— Forms large, solid, compact heads, re- 

 sisting summer heat and remaining long in head. Leaves smooth, thick and very tender; the 

 inner head blanching almost white. An excellent spring, summer or fall variety. Invaluable 

 in the Southern States. Packets, 5 and lOc; oz., isc. ; ^ lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 

 BIG HEAD. — Is a large, solid, most satisfactory variety in the family garden or for market. 

 Growing to large size it is later than most of the other varieties, but it is the most sure-heading 

 of any large buttery variety. The interior of the head blanches to a beautiful golden yellow and 

 is of a rich, buttery flavor, a most excellent sort for summer, as it withstands the heat. Packets^ 

 5c. and lOc; oz., 15c.; ^ lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



CALIFORNIA CREAM BUTTER.— This is one of the best of the summer varieties of 

 Head Lettuce. The heads are of good size and are so very solid they often have to be cut be- 

 fore the seed stalk can appear. They are crisp, have a rich, buttery flavor and' are an ornament 

 to the table. Packet, 5c. and lOc; oz., 15c.; % lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



BALTIMORE OAK LEAF.— This Lettuce will resist the heat of summer and stand longer 

 before running to seed than any variety I have ever known. It makes a large, solid head and is 

 very popular with those who know it. Pkt., 5c. and lOc; oz., 15c.; ^ lb., 40c.; lb., $1.25. 



MARKET GARDENER'S PRIVATE STOCK.— A fine selection of the Black Seed summer 

 type. This sort is largely grown for a midsummer crop. It is slow to seed and stands long without 

 burning. Packet, 5c. and loc. ; oz., 15c. ; ^ lb., 40c. ; lb., $1.25. This seed comes direct from the 

 originator and grower. 



DEACON. — A fine Lettuce ; makes large, dense heads, with thick leaves of superior flavor. It forms 

 a solid heart, blanching to a rich yellow color ; crisp and tender. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., loc. ; ^ lb., 30c. 

 lb., $1.00. 



MAMMOTH BLACK-SEEDED BUTTER.— This is larger in size and quite an improvement 

 over the ordinary Black-seeded Butter and the Salamander, and is a most desirable summer Let- 

 tuce. It is a cabbage-headed Lettuce, of beautiful green color, forms large-sized, compact, tender 

 heads,^ creamy white inside, and of a desirable rich, buttery flavor. It remains long in good table 

 condition after reaching maturity. It resists heat and drought and is slow to run to seed. For 

 spring or summer this is an excellent variety. Packet, Sc.; oz., 15c.; ^4 lb., 40c.; lb., $1.25. 



IMPROVED HANSON. — This standard variety is one of the best for outdoor summer plant- 

 ing, owing to its wonderful heat-resisting qualities. It forms very large, firm heads, which are 

 deliciously sweet, crisp and' tender. The outside leaves are green and inside ones almost white.

 there are a great many large, crisp, tender blanched inside ones. Packet, 5c. and lOc; oz., iSc;

TRIANON COS, or CELERY LETTUCE.— The heads are long and conical, often measuring 

 ID inches high by 18 inches in circumference. A short while before cutting, tie up the leaves, and 

 they will blanch quickly and form solid heads, becoming as crisp as celery stalks. Packet, 5c.;
