Early White Self-Folding Cos 
ROMAINE LETTUCE 
ICEBERG.—Splendid for the 
Home Garden. Pkt., 10c.. 
Lettuce is the best of all salad crops, and a. very appetizing and health¬ 
ful food, especially during the warmer months. To have Lettuce at its 
best, it must be fresh and unwilted. It is so easy to grow and requires 
such small space in the garden, that every family should have a plentiful 
supply throughout the season. 
Lettuce is a short season crop and if sown early, may be followed 
by bush beans, beets, carrots, Chinese cabbage, sweet corn, pickling 
cucumbers, endive, kohlrabi, parsley, late peas, radishes, turnips, 
etc. In this way you can grow two crops on the same 
piece of ground. • - 
Isbell's Verifirst 
A curled.. leaf variety suitable for forcing and out¬ 
door culture, very early, withstanding frost to a re¬ 
markable degree. 
This new Lettuce is so good that we have so far 
been unable to find any other Lettuce that can in any 
way approach it. It is also more tender and sweeter 
and has a more delicious, nutty, creamy flavor. The 
leaves are heavily fringed, much crumpled and blis¬ 
tered, of light green color. We recommend it for home 
garden and to all growers who cater to a “fancy 
trade.” Ready for market in 38 days. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
20c; % lb., 60c; lb., $2.00, prepaid. 
California 
Cream 
Butter. 
Cos Lettuce is distinguished by long narrow oval leaves 
which grow upright and fold into loose heads. The mid¬ 
ribs are white and prominent. The inner leaves are light 
green, nearly white and are very crisp and tender. The 
heads will blanch better if tied loosely near the tops with 
soft twine. Makes a delicious Romaine Salad and affords 
a pleasing change from other sorts. Pkt., .5c; oz., 15c; 
% lb., 45c; lb., $1.45, prepaid.

conditions. A favorite sort with all planters. Ready for

Chicken Lettuce 
Your poultry needs “green” food and this variety of 
Lettuce is just the thing you will want to grow for this 
purpose. It is a genuine Lettuce which will yield as much 
or more chicken or rabbit feed than any plant you may 
have used for “greens.” When once cut it starts to grow 
again and makes a successive crop. The largest plant of 
Lettuce in cultivation. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 40c; lb., 
$1.25, prepaid.
