Asa supplement to the descriptions of last year, notes. 
upon the hitherto untested varieties are added as follows : 
Blood Red Large, Ben., ’86 differed only in size from the 
Blood Red Small of our list. 
Brown German Winter, Dam., ’86 resembled our Ro- 
quette, with the exception that the leaves were bordered 
with brown. 
‘Brown Stubborn Headed, Batch., ’86 Ben., ’86. Syn. 
Large Brown Trotz-kopf, Dam., ’86, was a large, fine head- 
ing, enduring summer lettuce, with leaves rather strongly 
washed with brown. 
Curled Leaved, Dam., ’86, suggested a poor strain of 
Early Curled Silesian, but it was distinct from that variety. 
It ran to seed without heading. 
Kgg Small Early Solid, Ben., 86. Syn. Large Ege 
Frame Dam., ’86, was only distinguishable from our Golden 
Stone Head by its stem leaves, after it had formed the 
flower stalk.
