LANDRETH HAS GROWING STATIONS IN THE EAST AND WEST 
LETTUCE—Continued 
Curled Simpson, White Seeded Simpson or 
Curled Silesian—50 Days. One of the best known 
and most popular of the Curled American varieties, 
of excellent quality. A quick growing, non- 
heading, crisp sort. Leaves light green, 
crumpled, very similar in appearance to 
Black Seeded Simpson, only a more golden 
yellow. 
Grand Rapids—50 Days. Black Seed. 
One of the leading American non-heading 
varieties. Curled, crisp, light green, wavy 
leaves, very much fringed, curly, cultivated 
extensively in the West under glass. Very 
tender leaves of fine quality. Similar to 
Boston Curled. It is difficult to germinate 
and planters often condemn the Seed as 
being unvital when it really has a germina- 
tive force of 90. 
Prizehead or Satisfaction—50 Days. 
White Seed. A variety used very exten¬ 
sively in the United States. A curly, non¬ 
heading, crisp sort, has the general appear¬ 
ance of bronze all over. The inside leaves 
are emerald green. A rapid grower. 
COS or ROMAINE LETTUCE 
Cos originated on the Island of Cos near 
Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea. Both 
varieties were listed by us over 100 
years ago 
Green Cos—65 Days. White Seed. Same as Paris 
White Cos except leaves are dark green. 
Paris White Cos or Trianon—65 Days. White 
Seed. A strong grower and very productive with 
Cabbage Head Lettuce—Select Stock 
long, shell-shaped, light green leaves of most ex¬ 
cellent quality. It is a self-folder, but when the plant 
is over half grown, it is best tied up with a soft string 
or a wisp of grass that the inner leaves may be 
blanched perfectly white, in which condition they 
are more crisp and decidedly more palatable than 
varieties of a Cabbage-heading habit. 
MUSTARD 
Of European Origin. Four Ounces of Seed Will Sow 100 Yards of Row. Four Pounds Will Sow 
an Acre. Breaks ground in 5 days. One inch high in 8 days under most favorable circumstances 
in greenhouse. In the Spring, when the Pear tree is in bloom or as soon as the ground can be worked, drill 
in rows 18 inches apart. To have a succession the sowings should be made every two or three weeks till 
October. Cut young; when old the flavor is strong. Used extensively in the South for greens. 
BLOOMSDALE LARGE-LEAVED — 35 Days. 
Producing, when fully grown, immense leaves which 
are long and broad. These same leaves when size 
of a man’s hand are very tender and palatable as a 
salad. The leaves when twice that size we recom¬ 
mend for boiling as Spinach. 
Chinese Broad Leaf or Elephant’s Ear—45 Days. 
The mother variety from which Bloomsdale Large- 
leaved was selected and bred. 
Florida Broad Leaf—43 Days. Leaves excep¬ 
tionally large, slightly crumpled and thick. More of 
a yellowish color than Chinese Broad Leaf. Thick, 
white midrib. A quick growing variety. 
Giant Southern Curled or Creole—35 Days. 
Leaves large, yellowish green, much crumpled on the 
edges. The most popular Mustard on the market 
today but not equal to Ostrich Plume. 
OSTRICH PLUME—40 Days. This sort was 
introduced, grown and named over fifty years ago 
by the Landreths and is recommended as the bes, 
Mustard in cultivation today, for it is more deb'catet 
curly and ornamental than the Giant Southern 
Curled, and shoots to seed much more slowly than 
any other sort. It is sometimes called Fordhook 
Ostrich Plume Mustard 
Fancy. Dark green, long plume-like leaves are very 
distinct and borne in profusion. 
Mustard Spinach—28 Days. Narrow, dark- 
green leaves combining flavor of Spinach and 
Mustard.
