WHY SPECULATE WITH CHEAP SEED 
LETTUCE—Continued 
Paris White Cos Lettuce 
New York No. 12—73 Days. An early improved 
strain of New York for Spring and Summer. It is 
a well bred selection of this famous lettuce, being 
lighter in color and more desirable for general plant¬ 
ing than any other stock of New York. This strain 
does better on the Atlantic Coast than other strains 
of New York. Pkt. 6c oz. 20c 1 lb. 65c lb. $1.76 
Salamander or Black Seeded Tennis Ball—66 
Days. Black Seeds, forming a large size, light green 
compact head with a white heart, very tender and 
crisp, extremely slow to run to Seed, stands heat. 
One of the most popular American varieties. The 
sun cannot be too hot for Salamander as it is one 
of the best, if not the best, heat resisting Lettuces in 
the market today. 
Pkt. 5c oz. 16c i lb. 36c lb. $1.16 
COS or ROMAINE LETTUCE 
Cos originated on the Island of Cos near Malta, 
in the Mediterranean Sea. Both varieties 
were listed by us over 100 years ago 
Green Cos—66 Days. White Seed. Americans 
familiar with European travel have been delighted 
with the flavor of the long, spoon-shaped, narrow 
leaved Lettuce served everywhere and termed 
Romaine at the hotels, but upon their return home 
they have not found the Romaine in the American 
markets. Yet, if they have home gardens, they can 
grow it themselves to as perfect a condition as 
observed abroad. Same as Paris White Cos except 
leaves are dark green. 
Pkt. 5c oz. 16c z lb. 40c lb. $1.25 
Paris White Cos or Trianon—66 Days. White 
Seed. This variety, maturing for table in nine weeks 
from germination, should be found in every vegetable 
garden as it is a thoroughly reliable Lettuce. A 
strong grower and very productive with long, shell¬ 
shaped, light green leaves of most excellent quality. 
It is a self-folder, but when the plant is over half 
grovTi, it is best tied up with a soft string or a wisp 
of grass that the inner leaves may be blanched per¬ 
fectly white, in which condition they are more crisp 
and decidedly more palatable than varieties of a 
Cabbage-heading habit. It is a mystery why it 
does not displace them, especially as a given amount 
of ground will produce more than twice the amount 
of edible leaves than can possibly be obtained from 
any round-head. Pkt. 6c oz. 16c I lb. 40c lb. $1.26 
There are a number of Cos Lettuces; none superior 
to the White and Green. 
MUSTARD 
Of European Origin. Four Ounces of Seed Will Sow 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds Will Sow 
an Acre. Breaks ground in 5 days. One inch high in 8 days under most favorable circumstances 
in greenhouse. In the Spring, when the Pear tree is in bloom or as soon as the ground can be worked, drill 
in rows 18 inches apart. To have a succession the sowings should be made every two or three weeks till 
October. Cut young; when old the flavor is strong. Used extensively in the South for greens. 
BLOOMSDALE LARGE-LEAVED — 35 Days. 
Producing, when fully grown, immense leaves which 
are as long and as broad as Tobacco. These same 
leaves when size of a man’s hand are very tender and 
palatable as a salad. The leaves when twice that 
size we recommend for boiling as Spinach. This 
plant should have a place in every garden. An im¬ 
mense amount of edible and garnishing material can 
be raised in a very limited space. 
Pkt. 6c oz. 10c ^ lb. 20c lb. 60c 
Chinese Broad Leaf or Elephant’s Ear—46 Days. 
The mother variety from which Bloomsdale Large- 
leaved was selected and bred. Largely planted in 
all places where Mustard is used. 
Pkt. 6c oz. 10c J lb. 20c lb. 55c 
Florida Broad Leaf—43 Days. Leaves excep¬ 
tionally large, slightly crumpled and thick. More 
of a yellowish color than Chinese Broad Leaf. 
Thick, white midrib. A quick growing variety be¬ 
coming more popular every day. 
Pkt. 6c oz. 10c J lb. 20c lb. 66c 
Giant Southern Curled or Creole—35 Days. 
Leaves large, yellowish green, much crumpled on the 
edges and very popular. The most popular Mustard 
on the market today but not equal to Ostrich Plume. 
Much more in demand and more productive seeder 
than the Ostrich Plume. 
Pkt. 5c oz. 10c j lb. 20c lb. 66c 
OSTRICH PLUME—40 Days. This sort was 
grown, named and introduced over fifty years ago 
by the Landreths and is recommended as the best 
Mustard in cultivation toda}^ for it is more delicate, 
curly and ornamental than the Giant Southern 
Curled, and shoots to seed much more slowly than 
any other sort. It is sometimes called Fordhook 
Fancy. Dark green, long plume-like leaves are very 
distinct and borne in profusion. It is a very shy 
seeder, therefore the seed is more expensive than 
other sorts. Pkt. 5c oz. 10c J lb. 20c lb. 60c
