Home Grown Sage is Better 
LETTUCE 
Vitamins Ab Cg 
Pkt. should produce 200 plants of head lettuce 
or 60 ft. row of leaf lettuce 
1 oz. of head lettuce should produce 3000 plants 
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. 
*BLACK 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. 65 cts.; lb. $2.00. 
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.; 
4 lb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.25. 
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 at the edges. The color of the leaf is 
light brown which spoils its appearance as a market 
variety. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; % lb. 70 cts.; 
Ib. $2.00. , 
*KMAY KING: 63 days. Very early head variety. 
Head is small but very compact. Leaves light green 
tinged with brown at edges; inside color is rich creamy 
yellow. Very good for home garden and early mar- 
ao Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; % lb. 80 cts.; Ib. 
2.60. 
MANGEL BEETS 
Pkt. will sow 30 ft. row 
6 Ibs. will sow 1 acre 
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.; 1%4 lb. 40 cts.; lb. 
$1.50; 10 lbs. $14.00. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED: 110-days. The roots are 
very large, light red, uniformly straight and well 
formed. The flesh is white tinged with rose. This 
strain under careful culture is enormously produc- 
aioe Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 1% lb. 60 cts.; lb. 
DANISH YELLOW GIANT: 110 days. The roots 
grow to a very large size. They are deep yellow in 
color, not as long as Long Red, but larger around. 
They have small tops and very few side roots. They 
grow over two-thirds above the ground and can be 
harvested with little trouble. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
20 cts.; % lb. 60 cts.; 1 Ib. $1.75.

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. 45 
cts.; \% lb. $1.20. 
NEW YORK NO. 515: 75 days. The plant is large 
and thrifty. The heads are solid and attractive 
bright green in color. No. 5195 is a little earlier than 
New York No. 12. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; % |b. 
$1.10; lb. $3.40.

and solid under favorable weather conditions. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; % Ib. $1.00; lb. $3.00. 
WHITE BOSTON: 75 days. A butter-head type 
that has taken the place of Big Boston. Leaves 
smooth and straight on the edges. Plant and head 
entirely light green; heart buttery yellow. Pkt. 10 
cts.; oz. 30 cts.; 1% lb. 80 cts.; lb. $2.60.

The Mullen girls of Stafford have planted and cared for gardens 
and have won prizes on their vegetables ever since they were big 
enough to belong to a 4H Club. If more children had gardens to 
care for, would juvenile delinquency be such a serious problem?
