3i6 Maule's Immensity 



The Largest Grown, the Best Heat Resister 



This grand lettuce is claimed to be without exception the 

 very largest lettuce in cultivation. Notwithstanding its great 

 size it is tender, sweet and crisp. It produces a tine large, 

 solid head, often 3 feet in circumference and 12 inches in 

 diameter. It has great heat resisting qualities, being slow to 

 run to seed, so that it is very reliable for a late crop when 

 many other sorts are unfit for use. Do not be prejudiced on 

 account of the great size of Immensity, as it is not coarse, even 

 the outer leaves being tender. Especially adapted to planting 

 in the fall and winter. For home gardeners, wanting a large 

 buttery cabbage head lettuce, it is one of the best. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; quarter pound, 45 cents; 

 pound, $1.50, postpaid.

 a light green, the outer leaves slightly tinged with brown 

 inner leaves a bright yellow. In flavor it is particularly rich

 very firm and remain in condition for use a long time. The plant is

 heads, which are always tender and crisp, more compac 

 and will stand shipping better than Big Boston. Our Nev 

 York market gardener friends say it is the finest type of Bij 

 Boston they have ever grown. It is one of the best heat an< 

 cold resisters of any of the so-called butter head varieties 

 Excellent for forcing in the greenhouse, hot bed or col< 

 frames, also for growing in the open ground spring or fall.
