JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA 
New UettuGe 
Mammoth.. 
Salamander 
For many years the Sala¬ 
mander lettuce, owing to its 
wonderful quality of with¬ 
standing heat and drought, 
has been one of the most 
popular sorts. Jn the New 
Mammoth Salamander we 
have a variety which pos- 
esses all the desirable quali¬ 
ties of the old Salamander, 
but grows to double the size. 
It is the result of many 
years’ careful selection and 
breeding by a Philadelphia 
market gardener, whose 
main crop is lettuce, and 
from whom we obtained the 
sccVl and offered it for sale 
for the first time last season. 
Many New York and Phila¬ 
delphia market gardeners 
who planted it last spring 
and summer tell us they 
realized more for their crops 
of this variety than any other 
grown in those markets. Pkt.,
