GURNEY’S CRISP AND TENDER LETTUCE 
Lettuce from your own garden should be and can be served at least once a day during the summer months. Do not make 
just one planting but plant every three weeks so as to have a continuous supply of this delicious salad plant. 
Eat more lettuce, it is rich in all the vitamins and contains iron. 
• GURNEY’S STONEHEAD RIVIERA— 
The Best Head Lettuce 
All of us like head lettuce, and our idea of a good head lettuce is 
the one that has the hardest head, one that is compact; one that will 
standAhe hot dry weather that we have during the summer. Gurney’s 
Stonehead Riviera Lettuce is without doubt the best variety of head 
lettuce that can be grown in this northwest territory. 
Hardest head, longest fit for use, heads solid, interior leaves blanch¬ 
ing to a cream white. No equal for late planting or places that are 
hot and dry. Packet, 10c; oz., 20c;, J4 lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.40; 5 lbs., 
$6.00. Postpaid. 
• GRAND RAPIDS— 
The Best Leaf Lettuce 
This is beyond question the most popular of all forcing lettuce. On 
account of its upright habit of growth it can be grown much closer than 
the other sorts, and it is less liable to rot; the leaves are light yellowish 
green, excellent for shipping and keeps a long time without wilting. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 10c; J4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $5.50. Postpaid.

• BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON 
©GURNEY’S TOM THUMB 
This is the head lettuce grown in thousands 
of acres around Los Angeles, Calif., in Idaho and 
other places, and shipped in carload lots all over 
the world. It is the standard head lettuce and 
best of any except Gurney's Stonehead Riviera. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 14 lb., 35c; 1 lb., $1.10; 5 
lbs., $4.90. Postpaid. 
• GURNEY’S CRISP AS ICE 
Very large, extremely crisp, hard-heading, and 
extra long standing. 
Is of more pleasing appearance and retains its 
crispness and mild flavor to a greater degree 
during the hot summer months than any other 
crisp-head variety. While especially adapted for 
midsummer, it is most desirable also for spring 
and fall. 
The plants are of quick, strong growth, attain¬ 
ing a diameter of twelve inches with good culti¬ 
vation. The leaves are of a soft bright green, 
growing closely around the head. The heads are 
tightly folded, six to eight inches in diameter, 
bleached to a silvery white and nearly as crisp 
and brittle as celery. Pkt., 7c; oz., 12c; </ 4 lb., 
30c; 1 lb., 95c. 
A favorite forcing variety; it does not head, 
but forms a compact mass of leaves, lighter 
colored than any other leaf lettuce; stands the 
summer heat well, and is very large, making 
immense plants over a foot across. Pkt., 5c; oz., 
10c; 14 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $3.50. Postpaid. 
• CHICKEN LETTUCE 
Your poultry needs “green” food and this vari¬ 
ety of lettuce is just the thing you will want to 
grow for this purpose. It is a genuine lettuce 
which will yield as much or more chicken or 
rabbit feed than any plant you may have used 
for “greens”. When once cut it starts to grow 
again and makes a successive crop. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; J4 lb., 25c; 1 lb., 80c.

Dear Sirs: 
Raised seven bushels of cucumbers from 
your seed last year when all other gardens 
in town failed; planted fifteen hills. 
Your Earlibell tomatoes can’t be beat.

• IMPROVED HANSON 
A very fine heading variety of large size. The 
heads are very solid, sweet, tender and crisp 
throughout and entirely free from any bitter 
taste. A standard Summer Head Lettuce, very 
slow to run to seed. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; (4 lb., 
25c; 1 lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $3.50. Postpaid. 
CULTURE: Head lettuce seed should be 
planted very early so it will make heads be¬ 
fore the extremely hot weather. Thin out 
to at least ten inches apart in the row. To 
be good, lettuce must grow fast, and if it is 
planted too thick growth is checked and the 
lettuce is tough and bitter. 1 ounce of let¬ 
tuce seed for 3000 plants; 3 lbs. for 1 acre. 
This variety is exceptionally good for the home 
garden. Seed may be planted in the hot bed 
and transplanted to the open just as early as 
possible in the spring, and on account of its ex¬ 
tremely hard, crisp heads and small size of the 
plant, it may be planted about ten inches apart 
in the row. Plant this so it will mature before 
extremely hot weather. This is a great find for 
the home gardener who loves a good head of 
lettuce. Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; !4 lb., 30c; 1 lb., 
90c; 5 lbs., $4.15. Postpaid.
