[ LETTUCE—Continued 
| 537 OAK LEAF. Novel Semi-Heading Type for Spring, Summer and Fall. 
A long standing home garden lettuce that is entirely unique and of 
the highest quality. The delicate, tender leaves are shaped something like oak leaves and 
grow close together in a compact attractive plant. The leaves may be cut repeatedly and 
make an appetizing delicious salad. It is easy to grow and will stand without bolting longer 
than any of the loose-leaf varieties. A real treat in the garden during hot weather.

The best variety to grow depends upon the length of the season. In the north, where the 
summers are short, Dixie Queen, and Wonder Melon are the most certain to ripen. Watermelons 
require a warm sunny location, preferably with a slope to the south, and a rich sandy soil. 
See page 74 for strong Potted Watermelon Plants. 
581 DIXIE QUEEN. Early, Fine Quality, Prolific. Everyone will recog- 
nize this melon from the photo to the left as the fine 
light green striped melons which are shipped in from the South in early summer. 
The fine thing about them is that they can be successfully grown here in the 
North, and produce large early crops. The melons average but a little smaller than 
those grown in the South. The flesh is deep pink and of most excellent quality. 
The rind is thin but hard, so that they stand handling well. We think this is one 
of the very best for the North and have a fine true strain.

591 WONDER MELON. The largest and best of the oblong varieties which can be 
successfully raised here in the North. We can highly recommend this variety both 
for the home garden and roadside stand.
