before fully grown, combining somewhat the flavors of 
cabbage and turnip. 
Seed should be sown in light, rich soil as early in 
Spring as possible in rows one and one-half feet apart 
and when well established thin to six inches apart in 
the row. Plantings at intervals of ten days will give 
a succession until hot weather.

with a well-folded head of very good quality. The mid¬ 
ribs are white and very prominent. The inner leaves

LOOSEHEAD CUTTING 
PRIZEHEAD—Surpassingly tender, delightfully crisp, 
deliciously sweet. “The Quality Loose Leaf Lettuce.” 
In Prizehead our aims have materialized—it is per¬ 
fection—seems to be no room for improvement. It has 
every essential of a highly desirable leaf lettuce and is 
unquestionably one of the best and most reliable 
varieties for all year around cultivation. Equally pop¬ 
ular with amateur and professional growers. 
Its immense size and tenderness make it indeed a 
Prizehead. It is quite early and is slow to shoot to 
seed. The plants form a loose cluster of leaves, the 
inner part of which is well blanched, though there is 
no heart; the leaves are much blistered and crumpled, 
are of light brown color, varying to bright green, and 
are of exquisite quality, tender and crisp in texture 
and sweet in flavor. An excellent variety for home 
use, more largely grown in this country than any 
other. We sell very large quantities of this variety.

CREAMY HEART 
The introducer says: "A selection we have made 
from California Cream Butter. It is similar to that 
sort, but is earlier and without any brown spots or 
brown edge, and Is of most excellent, tender quality. 
It is very desirable for early spring planting, where 
a butter head is demanded both for market and home 
garden. We believe it has a place in the list of let¬ 
tuce, in that, for early planting it is superior to Black 
Seeded Tennisball and similar varieties.”
