LETTUCE 



Black Seed Summef Lettuce 



Latticl,, Ger. 

 One ounce will produce about 3,000 

 plants 



CULTURE— Sow the seed in hot- 

 beds in February or March, and 

 transplant into a sheltering border 

 with a southern exposure. For suc- 

 cessive crops, sowing may be made 

 in the open ground as early as the 

 spring opens, and continuing until 

 July. Always thin out well, or the 

 plants will not be strong. Whec 

 warned as a cut salad, sow the seed 

 thickly in rows or broadcast. 



BLACK SEED SUMMER 

 LETTUCE. — A very superior 

 variety of summer head- 

 ing Lettuce. It is adapted 

 to both spring and summer 

 use, as it withstands intense 

 heat without going to seed. It 

 forms a large, deep bright 

 green solid head', its leaves 

 are very tender and slightly 

 crumpled. The flavor is excel- 

 s the very best Lettuce for the trucker or private garden.

 Packets, 5 and lOc; oz., 15c.; I4 lb 



IMPROVED BIG BOSTON.— A sterling new variety of the Big Boston type, but without the 



brownish tinge which appears in that variety. It is similar in shape, appearance and growth to 

 the Big Boston, but with the added attractiveness of being more desirable in color, a most 

 decided improvement, which will be readily appreciated, particularly by those who grow for 

 market or shipping. I recommend my lettuce growers to plant at least a part of their crop 

 m this variet3% as I am sure they will be more than pleased with the crop results. Packets, 5 

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



GOLDEN QUEEN. — A fine early head Lettuce, and one of the best sorts for early outdoor plant- 

 ing as well as for growing under glass. The color is a beautiful golden yellow. The heads are 

 so solid that there is no waste whatever, and really contain more substance than many varie- 

 ties showing double the size. Packet, 5c.; oz., 15c.; ^^ lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



BIG BOSTON. — A fine large-heading forcing sort, and succeeds well in cold-frames during the 

 winter. The plants are very hardy and vigorous. When well grown, the head's are beautifully 

 blanched and quite tender. Popular in the South as a winter Lettuce for shipping North. Pkt., 

 5 and loc. ; lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



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

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

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

 in the Southern States. Packets. 5 and lOc; oz., t5c. ; ^ lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



HUBBARD MARKET.— The best and ^ 

 most popular variet}^ for outdoor 

 grovs-ing. ]\Iakes 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 

 varietv for home use. Pkts., 5 and 

 loc; oz., 15c.; ^ lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



WHITE lOir LETTUCl 



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 

 earl}' spring sowing as it has a ten- 

 denc3' to shoot to seed when the 

 weather becomes Avarm. Pkts.. 5 and 

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