PAN-AMERICAN LETTUCE. 
PAN=AMERICAN LETTUCE. 
Here is a variety of Lettuce I know is just what has been wanted for a 
long time—one that can be grown at all seasons and yet be tender and 
sweet. It can be grown in the house in winter, or in the garden in sum¬ 
mer and might be called an a 11 seasons Lettuce. It grows to a medium 
size in the house and somewhat larger when grown in the open garden 
and has a peculiar way of forming a head. The stalk is small and the 
leaves are thin, slightly cu Aed, very crisp and tender and is free from any 
bitter taste. Another very important point about this new Lettuce is that 
it is slow to run to seed and remains very tender almost the entire 
season. It is a very hardy Lettuce and will stand more wet and cold 
weather than any other, sort. The plants always present a bright green 
appearance, each plant making a compact head. Sow a packet each week 
during the spring and summer and have fresh Lettuce all the time during 
v the season.Pkt. 5e.;3pkts. 12c. 
ST. LOUIS BLACK SEEDED FORCING. 
A new variety used almoust exclusively for green house and hot 
bed culture, but can be grown successfully in the open field. It makes a 
very strong and rapid growth thus making it more tender and sweeter 
than any of the slower growing varieties. It does not belong to the head¬ 
ing varieties but if given the proper care one plant will be enough for four 
or live persons. I cannot offer it in larger quantities than packets as my 
stock of seed is limited. • pkt. <3c. 2 pkts.lOc.
