New Dixie Hard Head Lettuce 
(No. 221) 
It is such a hard header that it is very 
difficult to get it to produce seed. Each 
year we are more and more impressed with its great 
value, both for the home and market gardener. 
In general character of growth and appearance it is 
much like the California Cream Butter, but is a much 
harder header, presents better appearance in market, 
and is slower than any other variety to run to seed. 
Heads large and solid. Packet, 6c; ounce, 20c; 14 pound, 
65c; lb., $2.00; postpaid, 5 lbs., not nrena id, $1.80 lb.
