Head is different an<l distinct from any other sort. Tested in an ex- 

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

 any other. It forms large, compact heads of a beautiful, dark bronze- 

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

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

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

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

 favorite' with all lovers of good Lettuce. Pkt, 6 cts., Moz. 10 cts., oz.
