of salad during the hottest summer. 
6426. Carters Perpetual. This is a large, handsome Cab- 
bage Lettuce equally suitable for forcing and for open 
ground. Its great attraction to us is its resistance to 
drought. It produces very fine heads of a lively green

its deeply crumpled leaves giving it great substance. Pkt.
