NILW CABBAGE/ 
LETTUCE, 
Giant Crystal Head 
This excels by far every other variety in site, firmness, weight, productiveness, keeping qualities and marketable prop- 
erties in general. It is quite early, producing marketable heads in seven weeks from, date of planting. In habit of growth it re- 
sembles a large white cabbage variety, and its enormous productiveness is shown by the fact that one head fully equals three to five 
heads of other varieties. The heads remain crisp, fresh and delicious four to five weeks, in most cases producing no seed at all, careful 
slitting of the heads being necessary to obtain seed. Inside they are crystal white with a yellowish heart, of fine flavor, exceedingly crisp 
and tender. Our trial ground report shows that out of 36 varieties this was the last to go to seed. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, ,41b. 60c,

Mr Harlacher, market-gardener, Highspire, Pa., says: The Holmes' Giant Crystal Head Lettuce is certainly the finest, largest and best heat-resisting. 
Lettuce lever saw. I thought we had the best of this kind, which father got in Germany, but yours was larger and did not go to seed. Makes a beautiful ap- 
pearance on the stall. 
IMPROVED 
Hanson Lettuce

sembling that of cabbage and so slow to form a 
seed stalk that it often fails to seed at all.

light colored veins ; inner leaves white and us- 
ually curved and twisted at the base ; very ten- 
der and sweet. A standard summer heading
