Black Seeded Simpson 
A favorite forcing 
variety; it does not 
head, but forms a 
compact mass of 
leaves, and differs in 
being lighter colored; 
stands the summer 
heat well, and is 
nearly double the size 
of the Curled Simp¬ 
son. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 14 lb., 30c; 1 
lb., 85c. 
New York or 
Wonderful 
This is the head 
lettuce grown in 
thousands of acres 
around Los Angeles, 
Calif., in Idaho and 
other places, and 
shipped in carload 
lots all over the 
world. It is the 
standard head lettuce 
and best of any ex¬ 
cept Gurney's Stone- 
head Riviera. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 
35c; 1 lb., $1.10; 5 
lbs., $4.90. 
Grand Rapids — The Best Leaf Lettuce 
very prominent. Very crisp and has a delicious 
flavor. We strongly urge you to try this variety, 
as we believe you will be well pleased with it. >

under the severest sun and can be grown to a,n, 
immense size; plants weighing six pounds have 
been grown of this variety. Pkg., 5c; oz., 10c; 
14 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 90c.

Improved Hanson 
A very fine heading variety of large size. The 
heads are very solid, sweet, tender and crisp 
throughout and entirely free from any bitter 
taste. A standard Summer Head Lettuce, very 
slow to run to seed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; »4 lb., 
30c; 1 lb., 85c. 
Gurney’s Tom Thumb 
This variety is exceptionally good for the home 
garden. Seed may be planted in the hot l^ed 
and transplanted to the open just as early as 
possible in the spring, and on account of its ex¬ 
tremely hard, crisp heads and small size of the 
plant, it may be planted about ten inches apart 
in the row. Plant this so it will mature before 
extremely hot weather. This is a great find for 
the home gardener who loves a good head of 
lettuce. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; J4 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 
$1.00; 5 lbs., $4.50. 
Grand Rapids 
This is beyond question the most popular of 
all forcing lettuce. On account of its upright 
habit of growth it can be grown much closer than 
the other sorts, and it is less- liable to rot; the 
leaves are light yellowish green, excellent for 
shipping and keeps a long time without wilting. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; !4 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 85c; 
5 lbs., $3.90. 
Paris White Cos 
The Cos Lettuce is distinguished from other 
lettuce in that its leaves are elongated and al¬ 
ways somewhat spoon-shaped. It is grown in 
exactly the same way as other lettuce. 
When young, the leaves are pale green. When 
full grown, they form a loose conical head, out¬ 
er leaves light green and rather crimped, inner 
leaves very pale green with the midrib white and 
Chicken Lettuce 
Your poultry needs “green” food and this var¬ 
iety 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. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; !4 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 85c.

WATERMELONS 
1 Oz. for 20 Hills, 4 lbs. per Acre 
Watermelons are 
liked by everyone, and 
the kids especially 
like to go out and 
crawl into someone's 
corn field hoping that 
they will find a wa¬ 
termelon patch. 
Gurney’s Mastodon 
Radio Watermelon 
will produce more 
melons than any 
other variety; it also 
produces the largest 
melons; the flavor 
cannot be beat, and 
you will never find the 
hard core as in so 
many of the melons. 
It is not unusual 
to produce melons of 
this variety weighing 
ninety pounds. They 
have been known to 
exceed one hundred 
pounds. Its bright red 
flesh is of delicious 
flavor and the quality 
that calls for more. 
Matured melons 
are glossy dark green, 
distinctly striped 
skin, very tough, 
making it a long 
keeping and shipping 
melon. Pkt., 7c; oz., 
15c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 
lb., 85c; 5 lbs., $3.50.

Scarlet Wonder 
Did you ever see a 
scarlet watermelon, 
not just red, but a 
bright flaming scar¬ 
let? Gurney's new . 
scarlet wonder is 
what melon growers., 
have long wanted but 
have never been able 
to find. 
The black seeds 
and dark green rind 
contrasting sharply 
with the bright scar¬ 
let flesh make sales 
for this melon when 
other varieties are a 
drug on the market. ' 
Appearance sells' - J 
the first melons. The 
high quality takes 
care of resales as 
there is no better-* 
quality melon grown. 
Medium size, earlV, 
thin, tough rind—a 
good shipping melon 
as well as a melon for 
the home garden. 
Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c;

5 lbs., $3.50._
