Brown Laibach Ice Lettuce (see colored plate). 



We have succeeded in the course of many years to ob- 

 tain from the well known Laibach Ice Lettuce a new variety 

 with bronzed leaves which is in every way up to the old yellow 

 kind, and will hold a prominent place among the best Cabbage 

 Lettuces. The heads are of enormous size, very firm, standing 



the heat extremely well, a feature which makes this Lettuce 

 particularly adapted to warmer countries.

Improved Tyrolese Cabbage Lettuce (Electro). 



This Lettuce resembles somewhat in form the Ice Lettuce 

 of Laibach; the heads are of enormous size and firm as a stone, 

 leaves same as the ribs very tender. A special characteristic 

 of this beautiful new sort are its leaves, the borders of which 

 are fringed or serrated quite peculiarly. Our cut gives a pretty 

 accurate idea of it.

Dwarf Giant Comet Aster Snowwhite. 0 



While all the Giant Comet Asters hitherto offered are of 

 tall habit, wc herewith introduce an absolutely dwarf form 

 hardly 16 inches high, the flowers of which are quite as large 

 again as those of the original kind. They are of a dazzling 

 white, very double and of a perfect shape. The effect produced 

 by such a dwarf plant with so large flowers is a striking one.
