Condon’s “Pure Bred” Superior Strain for 
Market Planters and Home Gardens 
This variety is especially adapted to greenhouse cul¬ 
ture in winter. In the great Lettuce-growing centers 
our strain of this Grand Forcing sort is very largely 
used, and the product is sold in such large quantities that 
prices are quoted by the ton. It is superior to and more 
beautiful in appearance than the Simpson. It is 
of rapid, upright growth; may be planted close; 
not liable to rot, standing several days after 
being ready to cut without injury; retains its 
freshness a long time after being cut, hence is 
much sought after by dealers; its quality is very 
desirable. See photograph, cut reduced four 
times. Packet, 7 cts.; ounce, 15 cts.; y 4 lb., 35 
cts.; y 2 lb., 55 cts.; lb., 95 cts.; 2 lbs., $1.75, post¬

dish brown. The inner leaves blanch to an

golden yellow, very tender and buttery.
