EARLY CURLED SIMPSON w. s. LETHE 45 
Also known as the White-Seeded Simpson. One of our oldest standard American varie¬ 
ties and one of the most widely used in the home garden. An early type. 
PLANT—Medium large, hardy, vigorous, dependable grower,- leaves formed in a com¬ 
pact bunch in the center, large, frilled, crinkled, curled, decidedly crisp and 
tender, clean light green in color,- of excellent quality and sweet flavor. 
GRAND RAPIDS FORCING b. s. LEACH 43 
The outstanding variety for greenhouse forcing. Most valuable and extensively used as 
a very early market sort for outside growing. Being capable of withstanding diseases and 
developing in hot or cold weather, makes Grand Rapids a necessity to the lettuce grower 
that must have this type. 
PLANT—Large, erect, compact, and rapid grower,- leaves, curled, crinkled, and fringed 
on the edges, crisp, delicately tender, exceedingly attractive clear light green 
color, particularly sweet flavored. 
OAK LEAVED LEARN 
A distinct lettuce. Leaves are smooth but deeply lobed to resemble the leaf of an oak 
tree. A favorite in home gardens where known. 
PLANT—Medium large size, spreading, fairly dark green,- leaves are thick, succulent, 
and tender. 
Prize Head Lettuce 
PRIZE HEAD w. s. LEAFY 
Another old favorite that has held its place in the home garden for many years and up 
to this time it is still considered one of the best non-heading varieties. A very early type. 
Too tender for shipping.

very tender, bright medium green, fine sweet flavor,- outside leaves medium 
green, cast with reddish brown color.
