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 - the edges. The color of the leaf is 
light brown which spoils its appearance as a market

*xBLACK 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 seems to do well everywhere. Too tender 
for forcing under glass for market. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. 20 cts.; % lb. 45 cts.; Ib. $1.50. 
GRAND RAPIDS: 43 days. A loose leaf lettuce, 
frilled; not nearly so tender as Black Seeded Simpson 
but better as a forcing variety for market as it will 
stand handling better. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.;

If you have chickens you should grow Giant Half Sugar mangels 
for winter feeding. The big one in the picture happens to be a 
Mammoth Long Red and is to be used for the cattle and hogs.

Why not try planting Imperial 44 lettuce indoors in a box and trans- 
planting it into the open ground as soon as the soil is in con- 
dition. Head lettuce needs cool weather to mature. Even if the 
weather isn’t right for heading, you can still use it as leaf lettuce 
IMPERIAL NO. 44: 75 days. A large head of the 
Iceberg type. Seems to be quite resistant to tip- 
burn. Forms a larger percentage of marketable 
heads than other varieties. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 35 
cts.; % lb. 85 cts.; lb. $3.00.

Seed should be sown as early as possible to prepare 
soil in spring, 2 inches apart and ¥% inch deep in 18 to 
36 inch rows. Seedlings should be thinned to 10 
inches. 
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 har- 
vested easily and at less expense than any other root 
crop. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; \% Ib. 45 cts.;

GOLDEN TANKARD: 102 days. The roots are 
large, ovoid, but with the bottom usually of larger 
diameter than top. Light gray above ground; deep

We believe there will be enough garden seed to go 
around but those who order late may not be able to 
get the varieties they want. Better order today.
