NEW YORK OR WONDERFUL LETTUCE 
A curled or crisp heading; variety, large, dark green 
and slightly curled on the edges. It is the most exten¬ 
sively grown of any of the head lettuces by market gar¬ 
deners, and it is likewise in much favor with home gar¬ 
deners everywhere. The mature head is flattish globu¬ 
lar, and has well folded leaves with the immediate out¬ 
side leaves slightly incurved to protect the head from 
sunburn. The heads range from 16 to 18 inches in 
diameter and weigh from 3 to 3% pounds each. 
The heart is beautifully blanched, creamy 
white, crisp, tender, and free from any trace 
of bitterness. It is robust and is a standard

where and at all times. Heads 
well during hot weather. Mrs.

especially fine quality.”

PARIS WHITE COS LETTUCE 
The Cos Lettuces are distinguished from other lettuces 
in that their leaves are elongated and almost always 
somewhat spoon-shaped. They are grown in exactly the 
same way as other lettuce. When young, the leaves are 
pale green. When full grown, they form a loose, conical 
head, outer leaves light green and rather crimped, inner 
leaves very pale green with the midrib white and very 
prominent. Very crisp and has a delicious flavor. 
Succeeds very well everywhere, never wilts under the 
severest sun and can be grown to an immense size; plants 
weighing six pounds have been grown of this variety.

CHINESE OR CHICKEN LETTUCE 
You have doubtless often read that lettuce is an excel¬ 
lent feed for chickens. In this new variety you will find 
a feed that yields more than other green feeds, and that 
is much preferred by poultry. When Salzer’s Chicken Let¬ 
tuce is cut, it grows rapidly again, and may be cut again 
and again. The yield Is extremely heavy; grows 3 to 4 
feet high and does not form a head. For table use, it 
perhaps will be found too coarse. If you have any 
chickens, by all means sow some this year. It will be the 
best investment you can make. 
578—Pkg., 5c; oz., 12c; 14 lb., 34c; lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.25, 
postpaid. 
We have been your customer for the past 14 years and cannot speak too highly of the quality of your seeds and plants.
