crop, sow seed when weather becomes settled, in hills 4 to 6 
inches apart. They require a warm, rich soil, and should be 
watered liberally.

cucumber that is going to be very popular because of excel¬ 
lent shape and intense dark color. Fruit is inclined to taper,

LETTUCE 
Yi oz. to 100 ft., 3 lbs. per acre. 
Lettuce is so extensively grown that cultural directions 
seem unnecessary, but we offer a few simple suggestions that 
may save a later disappointment, as any failure is generally 
blamed to the seed. This should not be, as lettuce, like many 
other vegetables, requires very rich soil, plenty of water, a 
cool growing season and intense culture to produce the best 
results. If the earliest varieties are planted out in the spring, 
and the weather turns dry and hot, they will run up to seed 
without heading. The same seed sown in the fall or with 
cooler growing weather would develop perfectly. 
Pkt, 5c; oz. 15c; ^ lb. 50c; 1 lb. $1.50. 
Heading VarieHes 
Imperial F. The best of the Imperial strains. A New York 
type Lettuce, resistant to brown blight, and partially resist¬ 
ant to mildew. Used for summer planting. 
Hanson. A very hardy lettuce, excellent for a summer crop 
as it withstands heat. Forms a large, light green head which 
is very hard. An excellent variety for the home gardener for 
it is very sweet, crisp and tender. 
New York, or Wonderful. The best head lettuce for market 
growers. 'This is the mammoth head lettuce so largely grown 
for shipment to distant markets, arriving in splendid condi¬ 
tion. The immense heads are solid, heavy, beautifully blanched 
to a creamy white with bright green outer leaves. The quality 
is unsurpassed, being tender, crisp, and sweet. 
New York No. 12. A comparatively recent selection of the 
New York type; an early variety and does well in midsummer. 
It is lighter in color than the regular New York and is popular 
with shippers and large growers. 
Brow’n Dutch. Medium size, butter head variety used for mid¬ 
season. Leaves broad, thick and smooth, plain edges of dark 
green overlaid with red. Buttery yellow heart. 
New Iceberg. This is a beautiful lettuce, the quality of which 
is simply perfect. The large, curly leaves, which cover outside 
of the solid heads, are of a bright, light green. The unusual 
solidity of the heads is insured by the large, white main ribs 
of the leaves, each of which curving strongly toward the 
center, makes it impossible for leaves to open outward and 
expose the center, which will always be found crisp, tender. 
Early White Cos. “Salad Romaine’’ or Celery Lettuce. Heads 
tall and circular. As a salad lettuce it is highly esteemed for 
its fresh crispness and mild flavor. Give each plant about 4 
inches space. By drawing the outer leaves together the center 
will blanch to a snowy white.
