Mammoth Salamander Lettuce 
In the New Mammoth Salamander we have a 
variety which possesses all the desirable qualities 
of the old Salamander, but grows to double the 
size. It is the result of many years’ careful selec¬ 
tion and breeding by a Philadelphia market gar¬ 
dener, whose main crop is lettuce. Owing to its 
handsome appearance and fine quality, it is to-day 
the most rapid seller in New York and Philadel- 
hia markets. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; \ lb., 46c.; lb., 
1 . 00 . 
Big Boston Lettuce 
A tine forcing variety for cold frames during 
the winter months, as it produces heads of very large 
size, and succeeds better in a cooler temperature 
than most forcing strains. It heads well also in 
the open ground. Per l’kt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; } lb., 
60c.; lb., $2.00. 
Early May King Lettuce 
Fine for early spring planting in the open 
ground. Round, compact, solid heads, green and 
tender. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; \ lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50.

New Morse Lettuce 
This excellent new curled lettuce might be 
called an improved Black Seeded Simpson, except 
from the fact that the seed is white. It grows to 
large size. The outer leaves are light green, while 
within they blanch to a beautiful light yellow. It 
withstands summer heat splendidly, is very early 
and of delightful flavor, being very crisp and ten¬ 
der. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; $ lb., 45c.; lb., $1.50. 
A New Lettuce Free for Trial. 
We shall include in every order of $1.00 and 
over from this catalogue, an entirely new and dis¬ 
tinct lettuce, selected for several years past by one 
of our market garden friends. Grown the past 
season on our trial grounds, we found it a greatly 
improved type of Big Boston, making larger and 
more solid heads, entirely free from the colored 
tinge found in that variety.
