1 oz. will produce 3000 plants 
Head lettuce in most sections does not head well in 
the heat of the summer. For this reason, best results 
are obtained when seed is started inside about March 
15th and transplanted to the open ground May Ist to 
15th to stand 12 to 16 inches apart in 18 inch rows. 
Leaf lettuce seed may be sown in open ground as soon 
as soil can be worked. Thin plants to 6 inches. 
PRIZE HEAD: 47 days. We think this is the best 
early lettuce for home use. The name is rather un- 
fortunate as it is not a head variety. Plants are 
medium size, crisp and tender. Leaves are crumpled 
and frilled at the edges. The color of the leaf is 
light brown which spoils its appearance as a market

*x BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON: 46 days. The best 
green leaf lettuce for the home garden and for grow- 
ing out of doors for market. The leaves are light 
green, large, crumpled and very tender. This variety

under glass for market. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 20 cts.;

COSBERG: A new and distinct heading lettuce. The 
plant growth is similar to Iceberg but the color is 
paler, softer green. Leaves are moderately blistered, 
somewhat crumpled and finely waved and fringed at 
margins. Heads are medium size but firm; pale 
green to white inside. Very good texture. Cosberg 
is not suitable for shipping and is only recommended 
for the home garden and roadside stand. Pkt. 10

GIANT HALF SUGAR ROSE: 90 days. Desirable 
for stock and poultry feeding: yields not only a very 
large crop but one that has higher nutritive value 
because it is especially rich in sugar. The roots are 
rose colored above ground, white below, with white 
flesh. On account of growing partly out of the ground 
and the long ovoid shape, the crop can be harvested 
easily and at less expense than any other root crop.
