This variety is especially adapted to greenhouse 
culture in winter. In the great Lettuce-growing 
centers our strain of this Grand Forcing sort is 
very largely used, and the product is sold in such 
large quantities that prices are quoted by the ton.

than the Simpson. It is of rapid, upright growth; 
may be planted close; not liable to rot, standing 
several days after being ready to cut without injury; 
retains its freshness a long time after being cut, 
hence is much sought after by dealers; its quality 
is very desirable. See photograph, cut reduced four
