This variety could easily be cal¬ 
led Celery Lettuce. The engrav¬ 
ing, made from photo, shows its 
long, narrow spoon-shaped leaves, 
most all of which form into a rath¬ 
er loose loaf-shaped head. Its shape 
makes it a very convenient head 
for packing or serving, and is be¬ 
coming to be highly regarded as it 
keeps sweet and crisp during the 
hot months and is very slow to run 
to seed. If the outer leaves are 
tied up, this lettuce will form into 
a solid head and bleach snow white. 
On account of its compact habit 
of growth, the plants can be 
set as close as 6 to 8 inches.

Grand Rapids

GRAND RAPIDS—For a leaf 
lettuce the Grand Rapids stands

variety. Its habit admits of very close planting in greehouses 
or open ground and we believe is the best leaf lettuce for out¬ 
door planting. Our stock runs unusually even and true to type.
