The Mid-Victorian era in the United States was featured by the love of good | 63) 
substantial living. One of the most important functions of that era was to set a \ 4 £ 
good table, and the fame of one who could serve outstanding viands spread rapidly i} de 
in the circles of those devotees of good living. ia 
The fame of Col. Bibb, a Kentuckian, was assured by his serving of the famous tat 
lettuce which now bears his name. Not only was he lavish in his serving of it, ite 
but he favored many fortunate ones with seed so that in the middle of the last hy 
century Bibb lettuce was eaten and enjoyed by many a gourmet. Soh 
This famous lettuce has recently undergone a revival. We had many requests de 
for it long before we were able to obtain seed. This year the quantity of seed 1a 2, 
available, while limited, should be sufficient to supply most needs. pats 
Bibb lettuce should be sown early, preferably in the cold frame so that the | oi 
plants be set out early in April, and an outdoor sowing can be made no later than a\ 4 
April 15th to 20th. It should not be considered as a hot weather lettuce, but it | BE, 
can again be sown on the first of August for a splendid fall crop. If late spring i ut 
sowing causes the plants to bolt to seed, do not discard the plant inasmuch as it } Bye 
loses none of its flavor after it has gone to seed. The clean and tangy flavor of 
this remarkable salad has caused many to observe that it can be eaten and en- 
joyed without any condiment or dressing.
