GURNEY’S CRISP AND TENDER LETTUCE 
Lettuce from your own garden should be and can be served at least once a day during the summer months. Do not make 
just one planting but plant every three weeks so as to have a continuous supply of this delicious salad plant. 
Eat more lettuce, it is rich in all the vitamins and contains iron. 
• BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON 
A favorite forcing variety; it does 
not head, but forms a compact mass 
of leaves, lighter colored than any 
other leaf lettuce; stands the sum¬ 
mer heat well, and is very large, 
making immense plants over a foot 
across. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; A lb., 25c; 1 
lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $3.50. Postpaid. 
• CHICKEN LETTUCE 
Your poultry needs “green’' food 
and this variety of lettuce is just the 
thing you will want to grow for this 
purpose. It is a genuine lettuce 
which will yield as much or more 
chicken or rabbit feed than any 
plant you may have used for “greens.” 
When once cut it starts to grow 
again and makes a successive crop. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; lb., 25c; 
1 lb., 80c. 
• NEW YORK WONDERFUL 
This is the head lettuce grown in 
thousands of acres around Los 
Angeles, Calif., in Idaho and other 
places, and shipped in carload lots 
all over the world. It is the standard 
head lettuce and best of any except 
Gurney’s Stonehead Riviera. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; A lb., 45c; 1 
lb., $1.25; 5 lbs., $5.50. Postpaid. 
® GRAND RAPIDS— 
The Best Leal Lettuce 
This is beyond question the most popular of all forcing lettuce. On 
| account of its upright habit of growth it can be grown much closer 
I than the other sorts, and it is less liable to rot; the leaves are light 
yellowish green, excellent for shipping and keeps along time without 
5 wilting. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 'A lb., 25c; 1 lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $3.50. 
Postpaid. 
• GURNEY’S TOM THUMB 
This variety is exceptionally good 
for the home garden. Seed may be 
planted in the hot bed and trans¬ 
planted to the open just as early as 
possible in the spring, and on account 
of its extremely hard, crisp heads 
and small size of the plant, it may be 
planted about ten inches apart in 
the row. Plant this so it will mature 
before extremely hot weather. This 
is a great find for the home gardener 
who loves a good head of lettuce. 
Pkt., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 'A lb., 30c; 
1 lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $4.00. Postpaid. 
• IMPROVED HANSON 
_ A very fine heading variety of large 
size. The heads are very solid, sweet, 
tender and crisp throughout and 
entirely free from any bitter taste. 
A standard Summer Head Lettuce, 
very slow to run to seed. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; <A lb., 25c; 1 
lb., 80c; 5 lbs., $3.50. Postpaid. 
ENDIVE 
Sow in August in shallow drills 
twelve to fifteen inches apart, and 
thin to one foot in drills. When 
fully grown tie over the outer leaves 
of a few plants every week or ten 
days to blanch. Leaves curled, dark 
green. 
• GURNEY’S CRISP AS ICE 
Very large, extremely crisp, hard- 
heading, and extra long standing. 
Is of more pleasing appearance and 
retains its crispness and mild flavor 
to a greater degree during the hot 
summer months than any other 
crisp-head variety. While especially 
adapted for midsummer, it is most 
desirable also for spring and fall. 
The plants are of quick, strong 
growth, attaining a diameter of 
twelve inches with good cultivation. 
The leaves are of a soft bright green, 
growing closely around the head. 
The heads are tightly folded, six to 
eight inches in diameter, bleached 
to a silvery white and nearly as crisp 
and brittle as celery. 
Pkt., 6c; oz., 12c; 'A lb., 30c; 1 
lb., 95c. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; 'A lb., 35c; 1 
lb., 90c. 
MUSTARD SPINACH 
OR TENDERGREEN 
The new vegetable is all its name 
implies, a very mild Mustard with a 
creamy Spinach flavor. In 1930, in 
New York City, plantings were made 
every two weeks throughout the 
entire summer, including the dry hot 
months of July and August. Not a 
single planting failed. 
Mustard Spinach may be har¬ 
vested when the plants are four to 
five inches high; packed in handy 
retail bundles, and with a proper 
introduction will sell well in any 
market. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 'A lb., 20c; 1 
lb., 60c. 5 lbs. $2.25 Postpaid. 
CULTURE: Head lettuce seed 
| should be planted very early so it ' 
j will make heads before the ex- \ 
I ’ tremely hot weather. Thin out ■ 
to at least ten inches apart in the 
row. To be good, lettuce must ‘ 
j grow fast, and if it is planted too i 
j thick growth is checked and the j 
J lettuce is tough and bitter. 1 
j ounce of lettuce seed for 3000 
S plants; 3 lbs. for 1 acre.

ing to a cream white. No equal for late planting or places that are | 
■■ hot and dry. Packet, 10c; oz., 20c; 'A lb., 50c; 1 lb., $1.40; 5 lbs.,

Gentlemen; 
Last year I purchased a pack¬ 
age of Stonehead Riviera lettuce 
seed from you which produced 
excellent heads. It is the only 
one I have found which will 
actually develop into firm heads. 
I was so pleased with it that 1 ; 
want more seed of the same kind. 
Yours truly.
