LETTUCE—Continued 
Improved Salamander. —One of the most popular and best all- 
season heading sorts. The leaves are thin, tender and buttery. 
The quality is all that could be desired. Heads medium to large 
size and quite firm. One of the best to use throughout the season. 
Our strain of this popular variety is unsurpassed.

which does exceedingly well either for an early outdoor crop or for 
forcing under glass. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; 34 lb., 40c.; lb., $1.10; 10 lbs., $10.00.

Prize Head. —One of the very best loose-bunching or non¬ 
heading varieties. Leaves brown, very curly and ot remarkably 
fine flavor. Grows quickly, and all except the outer leaves are very 
brittle. It is probably the most easily-grown lettuce in cultivation. 
Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; 34 lb., 40c.; lb., $1.10; 10 lbs., $10.00. 
Silesia Early Curled. —A loose-leaved curled variety, similar

Pkt., 10c.; oz., 15c.; 34 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00; 10 lbs., $9.00. 
Simon’s Cabbage Head. —This is one of the finest varieties of 
lettuce ever offered, and is superior to Big Boston in many ways. 
It does not scald in the heart and does not turn red from cold. It is 
just as large and firm as Big Boston, and is a little lighter in color. 
Some market gardeners grow it throughout the season, but we especi¬ 
ally recommend it for spring and fall use. If you have been using 
Big Boston, try this, for it will surely please you.

Wonderful or New York No. 12. —The most widely used lettuce

knobbed and slightly curled on the edges, and large tightly folded 
cabbage-like head which is well blanched. Heads frequently weigh 
2 to 3 pounds. Should be planted to avoid hot seasons for heading.
