GRAND RAPIDS b.s. HM LEACH 
The outstanding variety for greenhouse forcing. Most valuable and extensively used as 
a very early market sort for outside growing. Being capable of withstanding diseases 
and developing in hot or cold weather makes Grand Rapids a necessity to the lettuce 
grower that must have this type. 
PLANT—Large, erect, compact, and rapid grower; leaves, curled, crinkled, and fringed 
on the edges, crisp, delicately tender, exceedingly attractive clear light green 
color, particularly sweet flavored. 
OAK LEAVED H LEARN 
A distinct lettuce. Leaves are smooth but deeply lobed to resemble the leaf of an oak 
tree. A favorite in home gardens where known. An early type. 
PLANT—Medium large size, spreading, fairly dark green; leaves are thick, succulent, 
and tender. Forms an attractive headlike rosette. 
PRIZE HEAD w. s. H LEAFY 
Another old favorite that has held its place in the home garden for many years and up 
to this time it is still considered one of the best non-heading varieties. An early type. 
Too tender for shipping. Has a beautiful appearance. 
PLANT—Medium size, curly, frilled edge, loose leaf; inner leaves thin, crisp and 
very tender, bright medium green, fine sweet flavor; outside leaves medium 
green, crumpled, and tinged with reddish brown. 
SLOBOLT b.s. HM LELOB 
This new variety that is slow to bolt was developed by U.S. D. A. It is of the Grand 
Rapids type and has a definite characteristic for withstanding high growing tempera- 
tures. This makes it well suited for succession plantings in home gardens. 
PLANT—Large, erect, compact; leaves broad, wavy, heavily fringed on the edges, 
tender, of light green color.
