LETTUCE 
CULTURE—Beginning early in the spring, lettuce should be sown 
every two or three weeks until the middle of August . This will 
supply fresh, tender lettuce during the entire season. Lettuce 
in the ground out of doors, will stand some freezing, but is killed 
by prolonged frost or frequent freezing and thawing, and to have 
it at its best should be grown as rapidly as possible, hence the soil 
should be rich. One-half ounce of seed to 200 feet of drill, which 
will produce about 1,000 plants. 
LOUISVILLE MARKET—We introduced this splendid variety in this 
market 29 years ago and it has been growing in favor, ever since, 
and is now being planted by fully 90% of the gardeners in this 
section. In general appearance it resembles the well known variety 
of Black Seeded Simpson. Plowever, the leaves are much thicker 
and will not wilt as easily nor rot off or disease as quickly in 
greenhouses or hotbeds as the Simpson. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; % lb. 75c;

GRAND RAPIDS—For greenhouse forcing this variety stands un¬ 
doubtedly at the head of the list. Owing to its habit of growth, all 
of its leaves are carried well above the soil, which enables it to

loose clusters, and is very atractive. Leaves are bright green col¬ 
or, savoyed, and finely crimped at the edges. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c; % lb.
