NOVELTIES AND VARIETIES OF SPECIAL MERIT. * 
Lettuce, Yellow Queen. 
This fine heading va- 
riety is winning the 
praise which was pre- 
dicted for it, as the best 
first early head Let- 
tuce. The solid heads 
are of good size, and of 
a most pleasing golden 
yellow color, second to 
none for forcing. It is 
one of the most decep- 
tive varieties we have 
ever seen, forming all 
solid heads, with little 
or no waste, so there is 
really more to it than 
in many Lettuces dou- 
ble the size. It is very 
crisp, tender and juicy. 
It cannot be over- 
praised for home use.
