I T produces immense heads, often 15 and 16 inches across, and weighing 
enormously. The interior is beautifully blanched, creamy-white, crisp, 
tender ami delicious, being absolutely free from any trace of bitterness. 
It is a very large, robust-growing variety, rooting deeply, resisting hot, dry 
weather, very slow to run to seed and a sure header under most trying 
conditions. The outer color is of a distinct apple-green. We introduced 
this variety a number of years ago, and it has been extensively grown by 
our customers in almost all sections of the country, from whom w^ receive 
most gratifying re])orts. As a standard main summer crop, hot-weather 
Lettuce it is in every way desirable and has no equal, but is not recom¬ 
mended for forcing. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 65c.-J lb., $2.00 lb.

All Seasons Lettuce. 
T HIS variety is very popular 
where known, and deservedly, 
for it is one of the best of tfie 
“Butterhead” lettuces. It is medium 
to large in size and of attractive 
appearance, having broad j)ale green 
leaves and a large, round, compactly 
formed head of delicious f[uality, 
crisp and of that buttery character 
so much liked. Even the outer leaves 
may be eaten with relish. As im¬ 
plied by its name it may be grown 
in the open, spring, summer or fall. 
It is a great heat resisier, preserving 
its freshness under trying conditions, 
and is slow in bolting to seed. Price, 
10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 76c. J lb., $2.00 lb. 
H“?™ i mmensity,

in diameter, while the head proper is 
proportionately large. It is slow to 
run to seed, crisp and sweet flavored.

as it has good heat-resisting qualities. 
While not early, it maybe relied on for 
a midseason crop, when most varieties 
are l)adlyaffected by heat. Price, 10c. 
pkt., 26c. oz., 75c. J lb.,$2.60 lb.
