Dammann's Ice Lettuce. 

 Electro 3/—. 



White Giant, bl. s. new, Dam. 1901. 

 Of quite an unusually large size while 

 at the same time the heads are extremely 

 tender and of the finest flavor. We have 

 obtained plants measuring about 3 feet in 

 circumference, the head of which properly 

 occupied almost 2/3. The color of the 

 leaves is of a tender green changing into 

 yellow toward the centre. It is wonderfully 

 well closed and even in great heat the 

 plant runs only slowly into seed . 



Green Giant, w. s. new, Dam. 1901. 

 Resembles the former as to size, dimen- 

 sions, and for all its fine qualities, differing 

 only in the color of the leaves which are 

 dark green changing into pale green 

 toward the heart , and for a slight 

 reddish shade on the back of the outside 

 leaves. 



These two varieties have been pro- 

 nounced by the Geneva Horticultural 



1 G 



Society the finest of a great number of 

 other Lettuces tried , and they really 

 deserve such a distinction , as we have 

 but very seldom grown in our crops 

 better varieties. Both require a good 

 heavy soil .1

Improved Tyrolese Cabbage Lettuce. 

 Electro 3/—. 



Brown Laibach Ice Lettuce, new (Dam. 

 1890). 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 . . . . 



Dammann's Ice Lettuce, w. s. (Electro) 

 larger than the former and of the finest flavour, 

 quite excellent; requires a good loamy soil 



Italian Ice Lettuce, w. s., also very large, 

 and solid, yellow; remarkably fine . 



Improved Tyrolese, new (Dam. 1890) 

 (Electro). The heads are or enormous 

 size and firm as a stone, leaves same as 

 the ribs very tender. A special charac- 

 teristic 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 . .
