green, with no trace of brown. A most handsome and attractive let¬ 
tuce of fair quality.

late; leaves large and very broad, fairly blistered and crumpled, borders 
finely frilled; color clear light green; quality good. A fine variety for

ture, fairly blistered and crumpled, and the borders frilled; color clear
