 Leek, True Scotch Musselburgh. Gardiner. 



The superiority of this strain of leek lies in its size, rapidity of 

 growth and fine quality. The stem in this fine sort seldom exceeds 

 6 or 8 inches in length, but it is often 2 inches or more in diameter 

 in well-grown plants. It is exceedingly hardy, and the leaves are of a 

 fine deep green, much larger than the large French leeks, and the 

 blanched stem is also of superior mild flavor,

Originated with a market-gardener of Denver, Col. The heads are

 crisp and tender. The crimpled leaves are a distinct feature. The 

 heads are a little after the style of the Hanson but more oblong. 

 Good either for forcing or outside use.

— Large Yellow Market. Dreer. 



This lettuce is of a greenish yellow color and makes very large flat 

 heads of a solidity equal to that of a cabbage. They measure 7 inches 

 in diameter by about 24 inches in circumfence and, unlike most other 

 lettuces, are entirely free from unserviceable outside leaves. Un- 

 surpassed for tenderness and durability. It hearts more rapidly 

 than the late lettuces, and is unaffected by bad weather.
