Wonderful or New York—78 days. 
Much used as a fall and winter market 
variety. Plants are very large, strong 
and robust, withstanding both hot and 
dry weather and are slow to run to 
seed. The inner leaves form a large 
head and are a beautiful yellow color. 
Heads frequently weigh 3 to 4 lbs. 
. Great Lakes—75 days. Won Bronze 
Medal in 1944 All America Selection. 
Iceberg type heat-resistant lettuce, 
slow to throw up seed head. Good crisp 
head. Try this fine variety. 
Iceberg—75 days. A large crisp cab- 
bage-heading variety with very firm 
and hard heads and well blanched, 
often sown in August for fall use. 
Leaves are medium green color with 
faint brown tracing on border. 

MAGNOLIA LETTUCE 
Crisp Salad Favorite 
Culture——For best results with lettuce, keep growing 
rapidly. A light, rich soil will do this. For earliest va- 
rieties start seed in cold-frame in fall and protect through 
the winter. Transplant to open ground as soon as the 
ground can be worked. For later use, sow seed in the 
open ground when the season will permit, in rows 12 to 
18 inches apart. Thin the plants in the rows to 4 to 8 
inches depending on the variety. 1 oz. will sow 100 ft. 
2 lbs. to acre. Control seed decay and seedling blight, 
and increase plant vigor and productiveness by treating 
seeds with Semesan before planting. 
Against Downy Mildew use Acme Bordeaux 
Heading Varieties 
Big Boston — 65 days. Very popular 
for outdoor culture and also in demand 
as a compact, large-heading, forcing 
variety for cold frame. Leaves are 
bright green, heads slightly tinged 
with reddish-brown. Heads up under 
cold weather conditions better than any 
other variety. 
Improved Hanson Lettuce—75 days. A 
most desirable late summer variety ; 
stands hot, dry weather better than 
most summer varieties. Thin leaved, 
curly, tight-headed. Crisp, tender and 
sweet. 
Loose-Leaved Varieties 
Simpson’s Early Curled—60 days. Very 
extensively used for an early loose- 
leaved clustering variety. Especially 
adapted for sowing thickly and cutting 
when plants are young. Broad frilled 
leaves, light green. 


New York Lettuce 
Simpson’s Blackseed—-60 days. Best 
loose-leaf variety for sowing outdoors 
where an exceedingly tender leaf is de- 
sired. This curly, bunching variety has 
attractive frilled, light green, thin 
leaves of crisp, excellent quality. 
Early Prizehead—60 days. A crisp, ten- 
der, strictly loose-leaved, non-heading 
variety. Plant medium large, leaves 
broad, crumpled and frilled, outside 
leaves tinged red under leaves wholly 
green. Very popular for home garden, 
but will not stand shipping or hand- 
ling on the market. 
Chicken Lettuce—45 days. Grown ex- 
tensively for poultry and rabbit feed- 
ing. Non-heading, produces abundance 
of leaves. After cutting, stumps make 
new growth, with proper moisture, en- 
abling you to harvest leaves for a long 
period. 
Spicy MUSKMELON-CANTALOUPES Sweet 
Culture—After danger of frost, plant 
in rich soil, preferably sandy loam in 
hills, from 4 to 6 feet apart. Put 10 
to 12 seeds in a hill, cover with about 
1 inch of fine soil, firmly pressed down. 
When plants begin to crowd thin to 
4 of the most vigorous plants in the 
hill. Give frequent but shallow cultiva- 
tion until plants make runners. Rich 
earth for young plants is far better, 
but if manure must be used, see that 
it is well rotted and thoroughly mixed 
with the soil. Vigoro has proved to be 
very satisfactory for fertilizing soil into 
which cantaloupes are to be sown. Use 
1 ounce of seed to 100 hills; 2 to 3 
pounds to acre. Control seed decay and 
seedling blight, and increase plant 
vigor and productiveness by treating 
seeds with Semesan before plant- 
ing. Protect seeds from birds by 
using Stanley Crow Repellent. 
See Crow Repellent listing for 
instructions on how to use both 
protections on one type of seed.

Green Flesh Varieties 
Gold-Lined Rocky Ford — 90 days. 
Splendid green-fleshed Rocky Ford, 
medium early, but unexcelled for a 
main crop variety. Delicious, almost 
round melon covered with  lace-like 
netting, averages about 5 inches in 
length. Flesh is smooth-grained, rich 
green with beautiful gold tint next to 
the small seed-cavity. Flavor is delic- 
ious and spicy. High rust-resistance 
and yields heavily. 
Rocky Ford Netted Rock—95 days. 
51%x5 inches. 2% Ibs. Flesh green, 
spicy and sweet. Unexcelled flavor. 

Most popular of all green meated va- 
rieties. Vine is hardy and a good pro- 
ducer. Rind heavily netted, with ribs 
scarcely noticeable. Good shipper. 

Rocky Ford Cantaloupes 
Honey Dew—110 days. 714x7 inches, 
6% lbs. A great favorite. Fine shipper, 
adapted to the South, but does not do 
well elsewhere. Flesh green, sweet and 
tender. Rind white, with some net, 
ripening to a light cream color. If 
properly stored, remains edible for 
months. 
Honey Ball—_105 days, 5x434 inches, 3 
Ibs. Sweet, spicy flavor. Flesh green, 
very thick and edible to the rind. Rind 
white with heavy netting and quite 
hard. Very good for shipping. 
Texas Cannon Ball—90 days. Perfectly 
round, green fleshed melon, heavily 
netted. Karly and its most remarkable 
feature is its thickness of the flesh. 
Melons weigh around 3% pounds each. 

Too many growers, in attempts to 
get larger growth and yield, delay 
harvest beyond the stage of best 
quality. No vegetable should be 
allowed to become tough, course, 
overgrown, and unpalatable before 
being harvested. Quantity is im- 
portant, but so is quality. Large 
size in a product is of little value 
excessive size 
in itself; indeed, 
is generally associated with medi- 
ocre, if not low, quality. The 
sooner vegetables can be used af- 
ter harvest the better.
