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 lst 
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. 
*xBLACK 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.; Ib. $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.; 
\% |b. 70 cts.; lb. $2.00. 
*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. 65 cts.; 
Ib. $2.00. 
*xMAY 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- 
ket. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; 4% lb. 80 cts.; lb. 
$2.60. 
IMPERIAL 456: 81 days. A new Cornell selection 
from hybrids made by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. 
Imperial 456 shows more resistance to tip-burn than 
does Imperial 44 and makes firmer, fuller heads but 
ye ribs are more prominent. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 
45 cts.

subject to tip-burn.

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

¥% oz. will sow 100 ft. row 
Sow April Ist to August 15th, % inch deep in rows 20 
inches apart. Thin seedlings to stand 5 inches apart in 
row. It is best to make several small plantings as Kohl 
Rabi holds in edible condition for a comparatively short 
time. 
*xEARLY WHITE VIENNA: 55 days. If you like 
turnips we suggest you try Kohl Rabi. When cooked 
it has a more delicate flavor than Purple Top turnip 
and is not so watery. Should be used as soon as large 
enough as they become woody as they grow older.

white. Pkt.-15 cts:s° oz. 300. cts’. 14 01b.193 100;

danger of frost. Differs from curled cress or pepper 
grass in that the leaf is merely notched on the 
edges. Leaves oval in shape, 2 in. long and | in. 
across. Splendid for garnishing and adds pleasant 
pungent flavor to salads. Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 40 cts.

“T ordered my melon seed from you and could get but 14 pound 
of your Seneca Bender seed. There is nothing on the Syracuse 
Market that can compare with the melons I grew from that quarter 
pound of seed.”
