Grand Rapids 
As a forcing lettuce for greenhouses the 
Grand Rapids probably stands first. It 
makes a rapid growth, free from rot and 
will stand several days after being fit for market. The plants form upright 
loose heads with beautifully crimped 
leaves. Will stand shipping long 
distances better than most 
varieties as leaves do not 
wilt quickly. 
May King 
On our Irondequoit trial grounds 
May King has proved to be a very 
_ desirable and superior heading sort. 
grown under glass it forms splendid, large and solid heads, fully as 
early as any of the forcing sorts. Outdoors May King was first to 
give good marketable heads. Light green in color and very attrac- 
tive ; unsurpassed in quality by any of the early sorts.

ticularly adapted for growing on Muck lands. Big Boston 
is usually grown for shipping, and we believe there is more 
of this variety grown for this purpose than all others com- 
bined. Plants large, very hardy, and vigorous. Leaves 
broad, comparatively smooth, and wavy at edge, thin, very 
hard and crisp ; color light green. Our strain is obtained 
from carefully selected plants, free from tendency to bolt. 
We are supplying seed to the most critical growers with 
perfect satisfaction. 
Belongs to the onion family. Sow the seed and care for the young plants as for onions, but they 
need more room in order to develop. When the young plant is about the size of a goose quill 
transplant to a prepared bed in rows about two feet apart and four or five inches in the row. Set 
the roots deep and draw the earth to them when cultivating, so that they may be well blanched 
by the time they are fit for use. 
LARGE AMERICAN FLAG. A variety which has become very popular with some market 
gardeners on account of its being larger than other varieties.
