Two Ounces of Seed to 100 Yards of Row. Three Pounds to the Acre. Forty to Fifty Days from 



Seeding to Maturity. 



To have fine Lettuce in early Spring, sow in seed-bed from commencement to middle of Autumn. 

 During Winter protect the plants by a box covered with window or other sash or with litter as they stand 

 on the ground. Early in the Spring transplant some into rich ground. The others force under the sash. 

 Or in early Spring sow in a hot-bed and transplant, but Autumn-sown plants are best. For a later supply, 

 sow in drills when the Cherry is in bloom; when up a few inches, thin out, leaving plants at proper dis- 

 tances; this is a better plan than transplanting late in the season. For this purpose use Select Big Boston, 

 Landreths' Forcing, Virginia SoHd Header and heat-resisting varieties, which we have selected as standard 

 sorts by reason of their ability to resist heat and the longer time they are in condition for the table than 

 some other kinds which shoot to seed as soon as the head is formed. 



SEVEN LOOSE-LEAVED OR CUTTING VARIETIES 

 Landreths' Earliest Cutting, 35 Days.— The earliest 



cutting Lettuce in the market. It may be planted close as it does not head, 

 and affords curled, crisp, good-flavored foHage long before the heading varieties 

 have commenced to close up ; 



Black-Seeded Simpson, 40 days.— A cutting variety of unusual merit; not so 

 golden as Silesian, but of greater popularity 



Early Curled Silesian, 40 days.— A cutting variety; the second to produce edible 

 leaves 



Golden Curled.— A golden-leaved sort, producing a half head of rare excellence; 



leaves much fluted on the edges; very showy and a most admirable cutting sort 

 Bronzed Curled.— A half Cabbaging variety of bronzed-edged leaves and superior 



to either Prize Head or American Gathering 



Grand Rapids.— A loose-leaved, vigorous grower, resembling Landreths' Golden 

 Curled. Very popular for forcing under glass 



Prize Head or Satisfaction. — ^A cutting variety of curly leaves, having bronze 

 edges and general bronze effect

 TON, 50 days.— Seed
