hotbeds and transplant to open ground as soon as weather 
permits. Sow seeds in rows 18 inches apart. Cover lightly 
to secure best germination. Thin out when plants are about 
an inch high to 6 to 8 inches in the row. Lettuce can be 
planted at intervals of about two weeks to assure an ample

from selected stock seed of high quality, productiveness and

home garden planting. The heads are large and

GREAT LAKES 
This new lettuce has more than proved itself this summer for it has been 
producing delicious, crisp heads everywhere it was planted. We saw large 
plantings in the Sacramento Va‘ley that were in perfect condition in 
the midst of temperatures that were as high as 105, when other lettuce 
would not head. In our trial grounds in Portland, Great Lakes outranked 
every other variety and produced fine, crisp, tasty heads all summer long. 
Other reports from all over readily show this new variety was an All- 
America Winner in 1944, and we cannot recommend this too highly as not 
only a summer lettuce that does not readily boit, but as one of the very 
best year-round lettuces because of its crispness and fine flavor. Pkt. 25c, 
1 oz. 75c, V4 tb. $2.50, 1 Ib. $7.50.

Plant when al! danger of frost is over, in warm, sunny spot. Place 6 to 8 seeds in slightly raised hills and cover with an inch of fine 
soil. A shovelful of well-rotted manure under each hill will promo’e good growth. When plants are well established, thin to the three 
strongest plants per hill, and pinch off the tips when about a foot long to make them branch out. This will make fruit mature 
earlier. Soil shou!d be well soaked before planting seed so that no further moisture will be needed until seeds germinate, to prevent seed 
rotting. Prices on:all var:eties: Pkt. 10c, 1 oz. 25c, V4 Ib. 75c, 1 Ib. $2.50.
