FULL HEART BATAVIAN : 90 days. An improved 
strain of Broad Leaved Batavian. A trifle earlier 
and more compact than the old strain. The center 
blanches to a creamy white and is excellent for 
salads. We prefer it to the curled varieties. Pkt. 
5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.40. 
PANCALIER: 95 days. Best green Curled variety for 
late market. The leaves are not so finely cut as the 
Green Curled. Has fuller, heavier hearts. Grown 
extensively by market gardeners for a late crop.

hardy, green, low spreading variety. Leaves finely

young or only the top of the older plants. 16 to 20 
inches tall. Quality is improved by frost. Pkt. 10 
cts.; oz. 15 cts.; yi lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.10. 
KOHL RABI 
]/2 oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA: 55 days. The best table 
variety. When cooked it has a more delicate flavor 
than purple top turnips and is not so watery. Should 
be used as soon as large enough as they become 
woody as they grow older. Bulbs 2 to 3 inches in 
diameter, very light green; flesh white. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. 25 cts.; yi lb. 65 cts.; lb. $2.10. 
We feel that Kohl Rabi would be used more 
if it were better known. 
New York No. 12 is the variety in the Fast 
that corresponds to the Western Iceberg Lettuce. 
LETTUCE 
1 oz. will produce 3000 plants 
PRIZE HEAD: We think this is the best early lettuce 
for home use. The name is rather unfortunate as it 
is not a head variety. Plants are medium size, crisp 
and tender. Leaves are crumpled and frilled at the 
edges. The color of the leaves is light brown which 
spoils its appearance as a market variety. Pkt. 5 
cts.; oz. 15 cts.; ]/^ lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.60. 
BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON: The best green leaf 
lettuce for the home garden and for growing out of 
doors for market. The leaves are light green, large 
crumpled and very tender. This variety seems to 
do well everywhere. Too tender for forcing under 
glass for market. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; X It*. 
40 cts.; lb. $1.20. 
GRAND RAPIDS: A loose leaf lettuce, much frilled, 
not nearly so tender as Black Seeded Simpson but 
better as a forcing variety for market as it will stand 
handling better. Also grown as an outdoor market 
variety. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; y^ lb. 45 cts.; 
lb. $1.40. 
MAY KING: 63 days. Very early head variety. 
Head is small but very compact. Leaves light green 
tinged with brown at edges, inside color is rich creamy 
yellow. Very good for home garden and early mar¬ 
ket. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; yi lb. 40 cts.; lb. 
$ 1 . 20 . 
NEW YORK NO. 12: 77 days. This large headed 
variety is known on the market as Iceberg. Very 
desirable market variety if it can be grown well.

ditions. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 34 lb. 60 cts.; lb.
