tuce, most excellent for the home garden and un- 
doubtedly the most easily grown variety in cultivation. 
It is too tender, however, to stand shipping or handling 
on the market. Leaves are finely curled and crumpled, 
bright green tinged with brownish red; very crisp, tender 
and sweet. 40 days. 
Grand Rapids. The most popular variety for greenhouse 
planting. It will make a quick growth even under ad- 
verse conditions. It is of handsome appearance, a strong 
grower and not subject to rot. When exposed for sale it 
keeps from wilting longer than other varieties. Its up- 
right habit of growth permits close planting. 40 days.

Cos, or Romaine Lettuce. The Cos Lettuce is distinct from 
the following sorts, having long, narrow, spoon-shaped 
_ leaves, which usually fold into loose sugar loaf shaped 
heads, which blanch better by having the outer leaves 
drawn about them and tied. On account of their exceed- 
ing crispness, tenderness and delicate flavor, they are 
becoming more and more popular in this country. Leaves 
yellowish white in color, narrow, upright, folding into a 
solid head; self-blanching. 70 days. 
Improved Iceberg. It is a strictly cabbage variety; crisp 
rather than buttery; large and late. Head is globular,

most dependable crisp lettuce. Heads medium large, slight- 
ly flattened, extremely compact. If you have had difficulty 
growing head lettuce, give Imperial 44 a careful trial.
