Culture. For very early use the seed may be sown in hotbed, and 
as soon as the warm weather permits, may be sown in the open 
ground, in rows 18 inches apart and not over one-half inch deep. If 
planted too deep the seed will not germinate. Sow every two or three 
weeks for a succession.

Kopfsalat HEADING Salat 
(German) VARIETIES (Scandinavian) 
MIGNONETTE. The earliest heading sort we have ever 
tried, fit tor use 6 days before May King-. The heads are 
small and the outer leaves are medium dark brown with 
a dark greenish tinge. Probably the most delicate in 
flavor and tender in texture of the crisp varieties, this is 
slow to shoot to seed for so early a sort. Very reliable 
for Spring and Fall sowing and one of the most compact 
and hardest heading of all lettuces. Not a market gar¬ 
dener’s variety, but its earliness and quality make it one 
of the very best sorts for the home garden. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c; 14 lb., 60c; % lb., $1.00; 1 lb., $1.85, postpaid. 
Crlsp-As-Icc

Hanson 
IMPROVED HANSON. One of the n,ost reliable, 
sure heading sorts. The heads are large; the 
leaves clear green, blistered and crumpled with 
frilled borders. For planting outdoors this is one 
of the very best sorts, as it withstands heat and

this variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 40c; 14 lb.,

of the best varieties for the home garden, an ex¬ 
cellent buttery sureheader of delicate flavor and

In our trials in 1926 this sort seemed to withstand 
the drought better than any other. Slow to go 
to seed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 40c; 14 lb., 75c;
