VEGETABLE SEEDS 
LETTUCE 
Lettuce prefers a light, very rich, moist 
soil. The plants should be set about 10 inches 
apart. One ounce of seed will produce about 
3000 plants. 
Black-seeded Tennisball. Compact, solid 
heads of fine quality; crisp and tender. 
Packet 10c. 
Big Boston. Large, firm heads; excellent for 
frame culture as well as for the open ground. 
- Packet 10c. 
Iceberg. Large, crumpled-leaved variety, 
rich green outside; white inside; crisp and 
tender. Packet 10c. 
New York or Wonderful. One of the finest 
cabbage-head types. Heads, large, solid 
and crisp. Packet 10c. 
Great Lakes. 82 days. Bronze Medal, 1944, 
A.A.S. The finest Iceberg yet! Superb, 
crisp heads even during the hot, dry 
weather of midsummer. The attractive, 
crinkled, dark green leaves fold inward, 
blanching the heads to a cool, crisp white- 
ness. Packet 10c. 
Grand Rapids. 45 days. A most popular 
“‘loose-leaf’”’ variety. Fine quality. Used 
extensively for forcing, but admirable for 
outdoor growing. Packet 10c. 
Oak Leaf. 53 days. This unique variety is 
more delicate in texture and flavor than 
any semi-head or loose-leaf lettuce we 
know. Easy-to-grow, especially in summer 
when heading varieties just won’t head. 
Packet 10c. 
Trianon Self-closing Cos. Packet 10c. 
MUSTARD 
One ounce will plant 100 feet of drill 
Culture. Sow frequently through the 
spring, in drills from 8 to 12 inches apart. 
The first three varieties are used for boiled 
“sreens;’’ seedlings of White London are 
used for sandwich material. 
Mustard Spinach (Tendergreen). A new 
boiling vegetable, healthful and palatable. 
Has a pleasant flavor, and many who do 
not like true Spinach will relish it. Cut 
within a month of sowing seed. Packet 10c. 
White London Mustard. Often raised in- 
doors; broadcast seed on fine soil and press 
in lightly—don’t cover. May also be grown 
on cloth kept moist. Ready in about ten 
days. Packet 10c.; 0z 30c. 
MUSKMELONS 
A light, rich soil is best suited to the cul- 
ture of Melons. Plant in hills as suggested 
for Cucumbers. One ounce of seed will plant 
about 50 hills. 
Bender’s Surprise. 90 days. An outstand- 
ing medium-large Muskmelon adapted to 
Massachusetts. Slightly oblong in shape,

excellent flavor. Packet 10c. 
Hearts of Gold (Salmon). Midseason variety 
of exceptional merit. Finely netted. De- 
licious. Packet 10c.

cept that the hills should be 8 to 10 feet apart.

Coles Early. One of the best varieties for 
this latitude, with light green, striped skin 
and deep, sweet, juicy flesh. Packet 10c. 
ONION 
Sow as early in spring as the ground can 
be worked. The soil should be rich and clean.

drill.

globe-shaped, light yellow Onion of Spanish 
origin that grows to large size. Packet 15c.

ferred to as scallions. Successive sowings 
may be made all season long until frost. 
Packet 15c. 
ONION SETS 
These are small onions grown the previous 
year, ripened off and taken up when mere 
bulblets. They produce a very early crop, 
and grow in any good soil. Set them 3 or 4 
inches apart in rows 1 foot apart.
