LEEK 
GOLIAH OR STOCK 
This is a large variety, usually grown for stock 
feeding, although young bulbs are of good qual- 
ity for table use before they become hard. Seeds 
can be drilled thinly in rows where the plants are 
to grow, and thinned out to stand six inches apart. 
On approach of winter they may be taken up, 
roots and leaves removed, and stored like turnips.

LETTUCE 
Lettuce is represented by four distinct classes or types — by the thick-leaved, smooth-edged cab- 
bage-heading type; the curly and thin leaved, tight-heading, crisp type; the curly and thin-leaved 
bunch or non-heading type, and the Cos or celery type. There are early, medium early and late varie- 
ties of each type, as well as those especially adapted for greenhouse, hotbed, winter, spring, summer 
and autumn uses. There is so great a difference in localities in regard to the value of lettuce, that 
a uniform rule of culture cannot be adopted. For the ordinary house garden, it is desirable to use 
one variety of each type, and several plantings should be made to secure a succession. The seed 
should be planted in rows eighteen inches apart, as early as possible, and the young plants of cab- 
bage varieties should be thinned to 6 or 8 inches apart. Varieties that do not head may be left quite 
thick, and thinned out as used. See following page. 
When you have made out your seed order, please hand this catalog to your 
neighbor. Perhaps he hasn’t one.
