BALTIMORE CABBAGE LETTUCE. 



LEADS THEM ALL. 



Large heads, beautiful heads. 

 Solid head, stands heat well. 

 Best of all for Fall Planting. 



This new Lettuce, which we introduced 

 a few years ago, and claimed to be one 

 of the best ever put on the market, and 

 which produced such a sensation among 

 the large growers who tried it, still 

 holds a high place among Lettuce. As 

 soon as the growers discovered its merits 

 they came for more seed, and recom- 

 mended it to all their friends; these, in 

 turn were delighted with their crops, as 

 the result more than justified all we 

 claimed for it. A grower at Garden- 

 ville, Md., says: "I had three thousand 

 heads of your Baltimore Cabbage Let- 

 tuce, and they all headed but one; they 

 are slow to run to seed." The heads are 

 large and solid, color pretty light green, 

 and very slow to seed. In fact, it is just 

 what the truckers and gardeners want. 

 A large trucker in New Jersey writes: 

 "The Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce I had 

 of you was certainly very fine."

DEFIANCE.— Stands summer heat better than 

 any other variety; one of the finest large growing 

 varieties. It forms very large, solid heads, so firm 

 they have to be cut open to allow the flower heads 

 to come through.

 hardy and of good flavor. To blanch perfectly i

GRAND RAPIDS.— This variety originated at 

 Orand Rapids, Mich., where it is largely grown for 

 shipment to distant points, and is considered by 

 many the best loose-headed Lettuce for forcing 

 under glass. Leaves medium size, of light, yellow- 

 ish green co^or, much crimped and frilled, thin, but 

 of very upi%ht growth; crisp, tender and of good 

 quality. Owing to its upright habit, it may be 

 planted very closely. It is of extremely rapid 

 growth; very little liable to rot; will stand without 

 spoiling a week to ten days after it is flt to cut, and 

 retains its freshness a long time after cutting.

LARGE LOAF LETTUCE. This is so well known 

 to truckers and gardeners around Baltimore and 

 Norfolk that for them it scarcely needs descrip- 

 tion. For the benefit of those who are not ac- 

 quainted with it, would say it makes large, com- 

 pact heads, is of beautiful light green color, very 

 tender and crisp. This is unsurpassed for frame 

 use, and is also an excellent outdoor Lettuce, for 

 fall or early spring.
