altractive deep orange color. These melons are 
always sweet and delicious to eat. The vines 
erow vigorously, and produce enormous yields of

539 SLOBOLT LETTUCE—Long Standing—Crisp Green Leaves 
Home gardeners are most enthusiastic over this splendid loose-leaf lettuce, which will stand without 
bolting to seed for two or three weeks longer than regular kinds. The light green leaves are altractively 
fringed and crinkled, and of delightful crispness and mild flavor. Instead of running up to seed when the 
weather gets hot, it remains dwarf and compact in growth, producing a thick cluster of leaves in the 
center. If the plants are well spaced, the lower leaves may be picked off as they grow and the same plants 
will produce fine crisp lettuce over a long period. Pkt. 15c; 14 Oz. 40c; Oz. 75c; 144 Lh. $2.00.

Best Heading Type— Stands Summer Heat 
Great Lakes is a crisp heading “‘Iceberg”’ lettuce that will really stand up and make good 
hard heads even in hot weather. It stands without bolting long after other varieties are gone and 
il is exceptionally resistant to lipburn. A midseason variety, it is the most sure-heading type 
and remains in remarkably fine condition for a long time even in the middle of summer. 
The plants are large and vigorous, dark green in color and the fringed leaves wrap over very 
lightly making solid compact heads of unusual crispness. Great Lakes is an ideal summer 
lettuce for home gardeners and market growers alike, for it succeeds under a wide range of 
conditions. To get good heads, give the plants plenty of room—thin to at least 14 inches apart.
