GRAND RAPIDS 
CULTURE: Head let¬ 
tuce seed should be 
planted very early so 
it will make heads 
before the extremely 
hot weather. Thin out 
to at least ten inches 
apart in the row. To 
be good, lettuce must 
grow fast, and if it 
is planted too thick 
growth is checked and 
the lettuce is tough 
and bitter. 1 ounce of 
lettuce seed for 3000 
plants; 3lbs. for 1 acre. 
HEAD LETTUCE 
GURNEY’S CRISP AS ICE: This is the largest head lettuce grown. Give 
it plenty of room and the heads will grow from 6 to 8 inches in diameter, 
and weigh 3 to 4 pounds each. 
The solid heads are a beautiful silvery white, as crisp and firm as celery. 
Pkt., 6c; oz., 12c; Vi lb., 30c; 1 lb., 90c. 
NEW YORK WONDERFUL: Thousands of acres of this wonderful head 
lettuce are grown in California, Idaho, and New Mexico, and train loads 
are shipped to the Eastern markets. When you buy an extra good head of 
lettuce, it is probably New York Wonderful.

LEAF LETTUCE 
GRAND RAPIDS—The best Leaf Lettuce: This is beyond question the 
best leaf lettuce. The crisp, crinkly leaves are light green in color; grow 
very erect and do not wilt. The easiest lettuce to grow, and the best flavored. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 25c; 1 lb., 70c; 5 lbs., $2.95 Postpaid. 
BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON: A favorite forcing variety ; it does not head, 
but forms a compact mass of leaves, lighter colored than any other leaf let¬ 
tuce; stands the summer heat well, and is very large, making immense plants 
over a foot across. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 25c; 1 lb., 70c; 5 lbs., $2.95 Postpaid. 
CHICKEN LETTUCE: Your poultry needs “green” food and this variety 
of lettuce is just the thing you will want to grow for this purpose. It is a 
genuine lettuce which will yield as much or more chicken or rabbit feed 
than any plant you may have used for “greens.” 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 25c; 1 lb., 70c. 
GURNEY’S STONEHEAD RIVIERA—The Best Head Lettuce: All 
of us like head lettuce, and our idea of a good head lettuce is the one that 
has the hardest head, one that is compact; one that will stand the hot dry 
weather that we have during the summer. Gurney’s Stonehead Riviera' 
Lettuce is without doubt the best variety of head lettuce that can be grown 
in this northwest territory. 
If you are going to raise head lettuce, plant Stonehead Riviera. It is best. 
Pkt., 8c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.00; 5 lbs., $4.25 Postpaid. 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA 
KOHL-RABI 
1 Ounce for 200 Feet of Row 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA: Makes a large bulb 
on the stem just above the ground. They are 
as easy to raise as turnips, but are more tasty. 
The sweet, fine grained, white flesh combines the 
flavor of cauliflower and turnip. 
Our strain of Early White Vienna Kohl-Rabi is 
the finest I have ever seen. The firm, glossy white 
bulbs are crisp and tender. The leaves are few 
and small. Kohl-Rabi should be used when about 
2 inches through. All varieties are tough and 
stringy when full grown. 
Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; Vi lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.20. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN 
SUNFLOWER 
Produces immense heads, as much as 20 inches in 
diameter, and yields of 50 bushels per acre are 
not uncommon. 
The seed is used for chicken feed, and the stalks 
make silage said to be more nutritious than corn.

OR BORECOLE

curled Kale is delicious creamed or as greens. It 
is fine flavored and tender.

GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY 
A wonderfully productive plant, producing liter¬ 
ally ropes of jet black fruit along its branches from

cious for preserves or pies.
