LOOSE LEAF VARIETIES 
539 SLOBOLT. Longest Standing Loose Leaf Type. Ilome 
$$ varieners 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 
attractively 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.
