Lettuce thrives best on black humus. If this i6 
lacking enrich by liberal manuring and fertilizing.

cultivation is necessary.

HEAD VARIETIES 
Wonderful (Dark Iceberg) New York Head No. 
12—The only Lettuce which can be successfully 
grown in the East to compare with western grown 
Iceberg. It produces a large globular head with 
broad leaves of thick texture, well-blistered and 
crumpled with frilled edges. (See Page3 ) 
May King Forcing—Early and a quick grower. 
Light green slightly touched with brown. Rich, 
buttery and tender. A favorite for all uses. 
Hartford Bronze Head—Long, medium sized, 
tight heading sort, leaves broad, crumpled, thick 
and stiff. Leaves dark brown and green. Excel 
lent quality. 
Big Boston—Most popular of all lettuces. Head is 
large and solid and the plant is vigorous and 
productive. Leaves a bright green, slightly tinged 
with reddish brown. Fine shipper. We offer 
a special, selected strain of splendid quality. 
Iceberg—Sure and 
tight heading. Medi¬ 
um sized and finely 
fringed. Light green, 
hearts white, crisp 
and tender. Won¬ 
derful appearance 
and flavor. 
Romaine or Tria¬ 
non Cos — Head 
tall, thick and blunt. 
Light green, crumpl¬ 
ed and broad ribbed. 
Easily blanched. 
Mignonette—Small, early, crisp, cabbage-heading 
lettuce. In color, a dark green with a brownish 
tinge. It forms a hard globular head which 
blanches well and is highly recommended. 
White Big Boston—Differing from Big Boston 
in that it is entirely green leaved blanching to 
a pure white heart. Excellent for early spring 
and late fall planting. 
Salamander, or Black Seed Tennis Ball—Reli¬ 
able, sure-heading sort, globular, best quality, 
leaves broad and crumpled, a pleasing light green. 
Curly Continuity — A firm, crisp, hard head of 
clear green with a slight red shading. The leaves 
are frilled and curled resembling those of the 
New York and the flavor is sweet and nutty. 
LOOSE HEADING 
Simpson’s Early Curled — Fairly large, early, 
leaves broad, crumpled and light green. The 
standard loose sort. 
Prizehead — Tender, crisp, loose head of bright 
green crumpled leaves, the edges tinged with 
brownish red. Excellent flavor and appearance. 
Grand Rapids—Good forcing lettuce and fine 
for early growing out of doors. Leaves short, 
much blistered and crinkled with the borders 
heavily fringed. Light green in color. One of the 
handsomest and most attractive loose lettuces.
