bright green, slightly wrinkled, and form a large head

who can appreciate high quality.

that it often fails to go to seed. Outer leaves bright green with promi¬ 
nent light colored veins, inner leaves white and usually curved anil twisted 
at the base; very tender and sweet. We have seen heads of 
this variety as large as a cabbage and about as solid. It is 
the standard summer head lettuce. _

(Seed blacky. An old sort noted for 
Dl vWII UUIVIJ its hardiness. Loaves large, thick, green 
tinged with brown. It always forms a large, solid head, 
which is somewhat coarse looking, but the inner leaves are 
beautifully blanched, exceedingly sweet, tender and well 
flavored. Desirable because of its hardiness and fine qual¬ 
ity. Pkt. 6c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; % Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 
(Seed white). This does not make as large a 
JLrvflVVll head as some others, but the heads formed are 
very solid and of excellent flavor, and remain in condition 
for use as long as any variety in cultivation. Plant medium 
sized, with very few outer leaves, which are deep green and 
very thick. The inner ones blanch to a bright yellow and 
are exceedingly well flavored, crisp and tender. This is 
certainly one of the best varieties for summer use.

Grand Rapids Lettuce. 
Terry’s early Prize Bead old standard variety 
is still the best of the large, thin-leaved, clustering sorts for 
the home garden, but it is not a good kind to ship long dis¬ 
tances, as the leaves are so tender that they are easily 
spoiled in handling. The leaves are very large, crimped, 
bright green tinged with brownish-red, and are exceed- 
inglv tender, crisp and sweet, forming a large, loose 
head. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; ^ Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00

Jjl aim I\aym^ greenhouse forcing, this variety un¬ 
doubtedly stands at the head of the list, being of quick 
growth, little liable to rot and standing for some days 
after being fit to cut. The plant is upright, and forms a 
loose head or cluster of large, light yellowish-green leaves, 
slightly crimped and blistered and rather thin. It will 
stand shipping long distances better than most sorts.
