gj Qrand Kapids.— As the name 
implies, we owe this new variety 
to one of the largest gardeners 
near Grand Rapids, Mich., around 
which city the growers have se- 
1 cured quite a reputation for forc- 
ing lettuce during the winter. We 
consider it a most valuable addi- 
tion, particularly t"esirable for 
\ forcing, although it has proven to 
be a splendid lettuce for early 
spring sowing in the open ground.
