rerry S fc-arly ihvergreen Stowell’s Evergreen and to be just as good, but we have never found any of them so 
valuable as the stock of this variety we offer. It has been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come into fit 
condition for use much earlier than Stowell’3 Evergreen and to remain in condition quite as long. Ears about seven inches

CORN SALAD —Fetticus, or Lamb’s Lettuce 
A small, quick growing salad plant for late fall, winter and spring use. The 
leaves are used as a substitute for lettuce ami spinach. During August and 
September sow the seed in shallow drills about one foot apart, covering with 
about one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. On the approach or 
severe cold weather, cover with straw or coarse litter. The plants will also do well 
if the seed is sown very early in the spring and like most salad plants, are greatly 
improved if sown on very rich soil; indeed the ground can scarcely be made too 
rien for them. The seed we offer is extra cleaned, quite different from muen 
that appears on the market. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; V4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 75c»
