Culture. For very early use the seed may be sown in hotbed, and 
as soon as the warm weather permits, may be sown in the open 
ground, in rows 18 inches apart and not over one-half inch deep. If 
planted too deep the seed will not germinate. Sow every two or three 
weeks for a succession.

(German) VARIETIES (Scandinavian) 
MIONOfiETTE. The earliest heading sort we have ever 
tried, fit for use 6 days before May King. The heads are 
small and the outer leaves are medium dark brown with 
a dark greenish tinge. Probably the most delicate in 
flavor and tender in texture of the crisp varieties, this is 
slow to shoot to seed for so early a sort. Very reliable 
for Spring and Fall sowing and one of the most compact 
and hardest heading of all lettuces. Not a market gar¬ 
dener’s variety, but its earliness and quality make it one 
of the very best sorts for the home garden. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20e; 14 lb., 60c; % lb., $1.00; 1 lb., $1.85, postpaid. 
Black Seeded Tennisball 
EARLY BLACK SEEDED TENNIS-BALL—SALA¬ 
MANDER. One of the most reliable, sure heading 
sorts. The heads are large, solid and of fine qual¬ 
ity. The outside leaves are a clear dull green, 
broad and crumpled. This is one of the surest 
heading sorts for the Northwest. Pkt., 5e; oz., 
13c; 14 lb., 45c; 14 lb., 70c; 1 lb., $1.20, postpaid. 
ICEBERG. A large, crisp, cabbage-heading variety 
of good quality. The heads are firm and well 
blanched. The outer leaves are crumpled and

brown tinge on the border. Pkt., 5c; oz„ 15c;

We ordered our seed from you last year and 
had the best garden in the country in spite of 
the drough.t. We had head lettuce from Spring 
till August from 1 pkt. of Imp. Hanson Seed. 
It was fine.

IMPROVED HANSON. One of the most reliable, 
sure heading sorts—the earliest of the Crisp Head 
Lettuces. The heads are large; the leaves clear 
green, blistered and crumpled with frilled borders. 
For pla.nting outdoors this is one of the very best 
sorts, as it withstands heat and drought and is a 
slow seeder. We recommend this variety. Pkt., 
5e; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 40c; 14 lb., 70c; 1 lb., $1.25, post¬ 
paid. 
CRISP-AS-ICE—HARTFORD BRONZE HEAD. One 
of the best varieties for the home garden, an ex¬ 
cellent buttery sureheader of delicate flavor and 
tender quality. The compact heads are of medium 
size, dark green overlaid with bronze in color. 
In our trials in 1934 this sort seemed to withstand 
the drought better than any other. Slow to go 
to seed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 40c; 14 lb., 75c; 
1 lb., $1.35, postpaid.
