FIELD OF LETTUCE GROWING FOR SEED 



NE.W CABBAGE. 

 LILTTUCi: 



Holmes^ Giant Crystal Head 



This excels by far every other variety in size, 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 vai'iety, and its enormous productiveness is shown by the fact that one head fully equals three to five 

 heads of other varieties. The heads remain ciusp, 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., Mlb. 60c., 

 lb. $2. 



Mr. Harlaeher, market-gardener, Highspire, Pa., says: The Holmes' Oiant Crystal JEEeud Lettuce is certainly the finest, largest and best heat-resisting 

 Lettuce I ever saiv. I thought %ve had the best of this kind, lohich father got in Germany, but yours was larger and did not go to seed. Makes a beautiful aii- 

 pean-ance on the stall.
