LETTUCE 
PARIS WHITE (Cos or Romaine)—This variety is quite 
distinct from the other varieties of Lettuce It is not 
quite as early as the round head varieties. It forms large, 
light green plants, well folded and quite solid. The in¬ 
terior is well blanched, and of a crisp, fine flavor. 
MAY KING—The best Butterhead Lettuce for forcing as 
well as early. The outside leaves are tightly folded, mak¬ 
ing the plant practically all head. It has a rich, buttery 
flavor which is delicious. 
PRIZEHEAD—One of the best loose, non-heading varie¬ 
ties, of fine quality, and very popular. Has a brown edge. 
HANSON—Requires 80 days. This is a fine variety for 
late Summer planting, as it stands the hot, dry weather 
and does not get bitter like some Summer varieties, of fine 
quality and very popular. 
BLACK-SEEDED SIMPSON—A bunching variety, form¬ 
ing no definite head. It has a large mass of fine, brittle 
leaves of a light green. 
CALIFORNIA CREAM BUTTER HEAD—Requires 75 
days. A butter head, cabbage shaped, with thick leaves. 
Large in size, dark green leaves tinged with brown and 
spotted. The inside of the head is a rich golden yellow. 
ROSELLE (Australian Jelly Plant)—This plant,, coming 
from Queensland, Australia, will grow wherever cotton 
grows, and with much the same cultivation. It blossoms 
in October and November and after the blossoming a seed 
pod forms with fleshy red leaves around it. Pick this 
while soft, put in a kettle with just enough water to cover 
and boil, strain, add one cup sugar and one-half cup lemon 
juice to each pint of juice and boil until it jellies. It has a 
delicious flavor betwen the currant and quince. It can 
also be made into jams, pies, puddings, etc. 
It is easily grown from seed, which should not be 
planted until the ground becomes warm; if given plenty 
of water it will require eight by eight feet. It will not ma¬ 
ture seed in the colder climates, but in the favored Gulf 
Coast Country it matures seed. Price 15c per Pkt. Oz. 75c. 
RHUBARB OR PIE PLANT—A rich, sandy soil, wet but 
well drained, is best for Rhubarb. It is cheaper to grow 
from seed and discard untrue plants. The popular method 
is to use young plants propagated from the crown. The 
best stems are produced the second year, but it continues 
to produce for several years. When the blossom stalk ap¬ 
pears, it should be cut back well into the ground. Set the 
crowns of the plants so that they are two inches under 
the surface of the soil. This is important. Choose a place 
where the soil will be moist at all times. One ounce pro¬ 
duces from 400 to 500 plants.

and red.

it is well drained, but if grown on sandy, rich soil, they will 
be of better quality than if planted on clay soil. The

cording to the time of planting, in rows four feet apart and

SWEET POTATOES 
CULTURE—Sweet Potatoes should be started in a hot 
bed. When the ground is warm and the danger of frost is 
past, the shoots are carefully lifted and planted in rows

siderable care until well started, but after getting a good 
start will grow easily. They must be harvested before frost.
