Every Family Should Have Lettuce Every Day 


KALE 
Dwarf German. 
New Imperial Extra-curled, Long-stand- 
ing. The leaves are very crimpy and a 
dark green. 
Spring. A hardy, quick-growing, smooth- 
leaved variety. Sow at intervals of 10 
days, so as always to have it young and 
tender. 30 days. 
BORECOLE 
Scotch Kale 
Sow 1 ounce of seed to about 100 feet of drill; 
2 to 3 pounds to the acre 
CutturE. Sow from May to June, and 
cultivate same as cabbage. For early spring 
use, sow in September and protect durmg 
winter. The Kales are more hardy than 
cabbage, and make excellent ‘‘greens’”’ for 
spring and winter use, being improved by 
frost. About 60 days. Soil B. 
Dwarf Blue Scotch, Extra Curled. This 
Kale is of a dark bluish green color, which 
it retains without yellowing, even after 
several days of transportation, thus com- 
manding a higher price when put on the 
market. It attains a large size and pro- 
duces a great mass of foliage. In addition 
it is very hardy and passes the severest 
winter without being harmed. 
Dwarf Green Curled Scotch or Norfolk. 
One of the most popular shipping sorts. 
Very largely used in Norfolk trucking 
district. 
Hardy Winter. Grows 11% feet high with 
an abundance of beautiful light green 
leaves which are densely curled and crim- 
pled. Besides being very hardy it possesses 
the advantage of all other varieties in forc- 
ing a second crop of moss-curled leaves as 
soon as the first ones are gone. This new 
growth is of the finest quality and is ready 
for market during the winter and early 
spring months, when it demands fancy 
prices. 
M.-S. EMERALD ISLE. This entirely dis- 
tinct strain is the handsomest Kale that 
has ever come under our notice. The 
closely curled, handsome leaves are most 
attractive to look at, but that is not all 
—it ts of the finest quality and the flavor 
is delicious. The plants are of medium 
height and very hardy. 
Tall Scotch. Best forsummer. Very spread- 
ing, nicely curled and hardy; frost im- 
proves it.

M.-S. CHOICE STRAINS 
Sow 2 ounces of seed to 100 yards of row, 
1 ounce for 2000 plants 
Cutture. Lettuce is now sown during 
almost all seasons of the year. For outdoor 
use seed can be sown in well-manured het- 
beds in February and March. Transplant 
there or outdoors when the weather will 
permit—10 inches apart in the row. If the 
Lettuce is not to head, sow thickly and cut as 
desired. For best results it is well to sow 
only the varieties suited to the different 
seasons and conditions. For winter use, sow 
seed in September in hotbeds and follow it 
with other sowings for succession. 50 days. 
Soil A. 
All-Seasons. A _ heading variety. Thick 
leaves; large solid, yellow heads. Succeeds 
well at all seasons. 
Big Boston. Old favorite. 
Iceberg. The earliest and largest header of 
Its class; crisp and tender. 
California Cream Butter. A good summer 
sort of reliable heading quality. Yellowish 
green, slightly marked with brown specks. 
Early Curled Simpson. Early fine, large, 
loose heads, finely fringed and curled. 
.Grand Rapids. Excellent for forcing. Large. 
loose, yellowish green head of fine quality. 
Stands well. 
M.-S. BELVEDERE. This sort is extremely 
slow in running to seed, making it the 
ideal Lettuce to plant in the spring, as it 
withstands the summer heat better than 
any variety we have known so far. It is 
all green, no red edges, is tender and crisp, 
and has a fine yellow heart.

New York Lettuce 
« New York P. W. No. 55. The earliest- 
(a) maturing New York, heading in 75 days 
from seed. The deep round heads are 
medium green, hard, crisp and of fine qual- 
ity. Being closely formed at the base they 
are quite free from large base Jleaf-ribs. 
They are one-fifth smaller than Imperial 
No. 847 and one-tenth smaller than Im- 
perial No. 44. No. 55 heads well in sum- 
mer and early fall. Highly resistant to tip- 
burn and slime. For home and market. 
No. 12 New York or Wonderful. Also 
called Iceberg and Los Angeles. This very 
large-heading Lettuce is desirable not only 
as a garden variety for summer use, but 
is much used as a fall and winter market 
sort. The plant is very large but compact 
and tight-heading; outer leaves attractive 
deep green, broad, frilled at edges; inner 
leaves form a large head, very sweet and 
tender when in condition for use. 
Romaine, Dark Green (Dark Green Cos). 
Has long, narrow, upright leaves; does not 
head, but when tied up blanches very nicely. 
Romaine, White Paris (White 
Cos). Like above, but for its color. 
Unrivalled. Another old stand-by. 
White Boston Special. Green-leaved Big 
Boston type without the red-tinged leaf- 
edge. An entirely dependable sort for 
growing in coldframes and for first fiteld- 
planting in the early spring. 
Chicken Lettuce. This is a non-heading 
Lettuce, quite different from those used 
for human food. The plants grow 4 feet 
tall before they run to seed. It is ready for 
cutting in 45 days after sowing. Planted 
extensively for feeding poultry and rabbits.
