BALTIMORE CABBAGE LETTUCE 



G. & T. CO.'S TRUE STOCK. 



iarg-e Heads, Beautiful Heads, Solid Heads; 

 Stands Heat Well. Best of all for 

 PALI. PLANTING. 



This new Lettuce, which we introduced a 

 few years ago, and claimed to be one of Vcia 

 best ever put on the market, and whicla 

 produced such a sensation among the large 

 growers who tried it, still holds a high 

 place among lettuce. As soon as the grow- 

 ers discovered its merits they came for 

 more seed, and recommended it to all their 

 friends; these, in turn, were delighted with 

 their crops, as the result more than justi- 

 fied all we claimed for it. A grower at 

 Gardenville, Md., says: "I had 3000 heads 

 of your Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce, 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 Bal- 

 timore Cabbage Lettuce I had of you was 

 certainly very fine." Pkts., 5c. and 10c. 

 Oz., 20c. i/i lb., 40c. lib., $1.25. 



IiARGE JCOAF I.BTTUCE. 



This is so well known to truckers and 

 gardeners around Baltimore and Norfolk 

 that for them it scarcely needs description. 

 For the benefit of those who are not ac- 

 quainted with it, would say it makes large, 

 compact heads, is of beautiful light green 

 color, very tender and crisp. This is un- 

 surpassed for frame use, and is also an ex- 

 cellent outdoor lettuce for fall or early 

 spring.
