CULTURE. — Make a succession of sowings in the open ground beginning in May, at intervals of 
2 weeks or so. in drills 1 foot apart, and leave plants 9 inches apart, or seed can be sown in a small 
-Fr LAITUE transplanted into rows when 3 inches high. The first sowing can be made in a box in the 
house and planted out m May. To grow good Lettuce, soil should be light and rich, and plants 
never allowed to flag, so attend to watering. A light application of nitrate of soda increases the 
size of the heads and helps them to form early. 
IMPROVED HANSON 
The Hanson is one of the most valuable of 
the crisp heading sorts. It is in all respects 
one of the very best out-door varieties for both 
the professional and amateur gardener. It is 
very hardy and will stand extremes of weather 
better, perhaps, than any other of the "crisp 
heading" sorts. 
In color it is of an attractive green. The 
head, which attains a large size, is hard, tender 
and crisp, with a blanched appearance in the 
center. 
It is of capital table quality, wholly free 
from bitterness and remains in excellent condi- 
tion for use long after it has reached maturity

SELECT BIG BOSTON 
This is a fine forcing variety for cold-frames 
during the winter months, as it produces 
heads of very large size, often ten to twelve 
inches across, and succeeds better in a cooler 
temperature than most forcing strains. The 
large heads are beautifully blanched and of 
superior quality. It heads well also in the 
open ground during cool weather of spring 
and fall, and is very popular in the South to 
grow for shipping North. V lb. 60c.: oi.
