THE COS LETTUCE 
Grand Rapids 
Lettuce 
G RAN I) It A PII>S—For a leaf 
lettuce the Grand Rapids stands 
ahead of all others for winter forc¬ 
ing m the greenhouse. It is the best in its class for market 
gardeners as it will keep longer from wilting than any other 
variety. Its habit admits of very close planting in greehouses 
or open ground and we believe is the best leaf lettuce for out¬ 
door planting. Our stock runs unusually even and true to tvpe.

Do not fall to try several of our choice varieties of Lettuce 
This variety could easily be 
called Celery Lettuce. The en- 
graving.made from photo, shows 
its long, narrow spoon-shaped 
leaves, most all of which form 
into a rather loose loaf-shaped 
head. Its shape makes it a very 
Convenient head for packing or 
serving, and is becoming to be 
highly regarded as it keeps sweet 
and crisp during the hot months 
and is very slow to run to seed. 
If the outer leaves are tied up, 
this lettuce will form into a solid 
head and bleach snow white. On 
account of its compact habit of 
growth, the plants can be set as 
close as 6 to8inches. Pkt., 5c.;
