From Hot Springs, Ark. I'm more than pleased with your New York No. 
12 Lettuce. I had seven-eighths of an acre last 
spring of this variety. Fully 98% of it headed 
very firm. It will do more than you claim. In fact there were several hundred 
dozen that would average more than three pounds in weight. The quality.was 
extra fine. This was the finest lettuce that was ever produced in this locality. 
I hope that many of my fellow competitors will take the advantage of getting 
good seed from you. I certainly told them to order from you.
