VARIETIES OF LETTUCE. 
Burpee’s Hard-Head. —This is the fastest grow¬ 
ing and the best 
heading kind that I 
have ever grown. 
With this variety 
the ordinary gar¬ 
dener is able to grow 
as fine, large, solid 
heads as those grown 
by the professional 
market gardener. 
I In shape it very 
much resembles a 
cabbage, as even the 
outer leaves tend to curl in over the head, instead of 
spreading outward, 
as in most lettuces. 
In appearance it is 
quite novel and 
striking, the edges 
of the leaves being 
tinged with a deep 
brownish-red, while 
in the centre of its 
hard heads the 
leaves are blanched 
to a beautiful 
creamy white. In 
quality it is re¬ 
markably tender, rich, juicy, and never bitter. 
Burpee’s Tomhannock. —This is the finest of all 
BURPEE’S TOMHANNOCK LETTUCE.
