42 MARSHALL’S MATCHLESS SEEDS 
LETTUCE 
One ounce will sow 200 feet of drill. 
Sow in the open ground as early as possible, barely covering the seed. If the hotbed is used let 
it be started quite early. Give but little heat and plenty of water and air on fine days. Let plants in 
the beds be about 4 inches apart. As they increase in size thin them out or they will become weak. 
Plant for late use in a cool, partially shaded place in rich soil.

Lettuce, Marshall’s Matchless 
Marshall's Matchless. This lettuce is now conceded by criterions to be the finest lettuce intro¬ 
duced in many years. It is a cross between a head variety and the cos type. It forms a loose 
leaved head and its delicacy and flavor put it in a class of its own. If you have room for only 
one kind of lettuce we strongly recommend our Matchless. Per pkt., 25c.; per oz., $1.00. 
May King. Extra large, solid heads; light green outside, with clear yellow heart; Pkt. 
very tender and of fine flavor; splendid forcer. 
Mignonette. Distinct russet colored; very solid and compact. 
New York, or Wonderful. Large, solid heads; inside very white. 
Tennis Ball (Black-Seeded or Salamander). A very distinct head with few outer 
leaves . 
Way Ahead. The leaves are light green, heads blanched to a rich yellow tint. 
Wheeler’s Tom Thumb. A splendid forcing variety. 
White Boston. Similar to Big Boston, differing in being a lighter green without 
the brownish tinge on the borders. 
ROMAINE, or COS VARIETIES 
These are distinct from the ordinary Lettuce, and much liked on account of their crisp, tender 
quality. They produce long, narrow leaves, blanched by drawing in the outer leaves and tying.
