He Quality Caeol 
Carrot Touchon. 70 days. From the time it 
is finger size and thinned out of the row in 
early spring, until it reaches full growth in the 
autumn, this variety excels in flavor, tender- 
ness, even in yield, for home gardens. Its 
slender shape permits growing closer than 
thicker types, and decreases the core which 
all carrots have even though you may not see 
it. Its flesh is fine grained, sweet and has 
bright orange coloring. Pkt., 20c; 4% oz., 45c; 
oz., 85c; 14 lb., $2.50.

Cucumber Mandarin. 45 days. There is aristocratic Chinese 
blood in this variety, which we consider the best, early or late, 
for Victory gardens. Its 12-inch fruits are slender, dark green, 
appetizing. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., $1.10; lb., $3.20.

a 

Lettuce Great Lakes. 75 days. Of the Iceberg type, bred to make tight 
heads in hot weather, this variety is actually too good. So reluctant is it to run 
to seed that almost no seed was produced to sell this year, when it won top place, 
with a bronze medal in the All-America trials for new varieties. What little 
° seed there is naturally is high priced. Offered only in packets. Pkt., 40c. 

BIBB LETTUCE, CROSS SECTION 
7 EL fhee for Conn. 
Lettuce Bibb (Limestone). 57 days. This 
dark green, tender, brittle lettuce, which 
quickly makes loose heads as big as your fist, 
is becoming well known to chefs of luxury 
hotels and to high priced food shops. Some 
say it was once known as ‘“‘Half-Century,"’ 
others that it was bred by Maj. John Bibb, of 
Kentucky, born in 1789. It is making a come- 
back and we can promise you a fine spring 
crop, but must warn that it goes to seed quickly 
in hot weather. Pkt., 20c; 14 0z., 30c; 02., 45c.

Lettuce Oak Leaf. 40 days. The popularity 
of this tender, heat-resistant leaf lettuce has 
spread from coast to coast, and the Massachu- 
setts Horticultural Society last year gave it an 
award of merit. For vitamins and Victory Gar- 
dens, it is our first choice. Pkt., 20c; 4% oz., 
35c; 1 0oz., 60c.
