Hartford Bronzed-Head Cabbage Lettuce, ^f^l^^l 



Head is different .and distinct from .any otlu-r sort. Tested in an ex- 

 perimental garden with every known variety, it proved to be unlike 

 any other. It forms l.irge, compact he.uls of ;i beautiful, dark bronze- 

 red color, shading to a dark green toward the root. Cut in halves, 

 the heart is a rich cream-yellow. Its tenderness and delicacy of tex- 

 ture make it tuifit for market purposes, as it will not bear much 

 handling, but its mild, sweet flavor and icy crispness make it a 

 favorite with all lovers of good Lettuce. Pkt. 6 cts., J^oz. 10 ets.. oz.
