¥4 oz. to 100 ft., 4 lbs. per acre. 
Seed should be sown in June and the plants should stand 
6 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart. As the plants attain full 
growth draw soil up about the stems as this not only blanches 
the stalk, but also gives a more tender quality. Pkt. 10c; 
1 oz. 75ce.

Lettuce is so extensively grown that cultural directions 
seem unnecessary, but we offer a few simple suggestions that 
may save a later disappointment, as any failure is generally 
blamed to the seed. This should not be, as lettuce, like many 
other vegetables, requires very rich soil, plenty of water, a 
cool growing season and intense culture to produce the best 
results. If the earliest varieties are planted out in the spring, 
and the weather turns dry and hot, they will run up to seed 
without heading. The same seed sown in the fall or with 
cooler growing weather would develop perfectly. Pkt. 10c: 
1 oz. 35c; %4 Ib. $1.00. 
Heading Varieties 
Imperial No. 847. Large dark green heads, desirable for spring, 
summer and fall cutting. Tip burn resistant. 
Imperial No. 44. Medium-size hard heads with few outer 
leaves. Fine for August and early September cutting in the 
Pacific Northwest. Exceptionally fine for low, dark soils. 
Hanson Improved. A very hardy lettuce, excellent for a 
summer crop as it withstands heat. Forms a large, light green 
head which is very hard. An excellent variety for the home 
gardener for it is very sweet, crisp and tender. 
New York, or Wonderful. The best head lettuce for market 
growers. This is the mammoth head lettuce so largely grown 
for shipment to distant markets, arriving in splendid condi- 
tion. The immense heads are solid, heavy, beautifully blanched 
to a creamy white with bright green outer leaves. The quality 
is unsurpassed, being tender, crisp, and sweet. 

LETTUCE, GREAT LAKES 
New York No. 12. A comparatively recent selection of the 
New York type; an early variety and does well in midsummer. 
It is lighter in color than the regular New York and is popular 
with shippers and large growers. 
Brown Dutch. Medium size, butter head variety used for mid- 
season. Leaves broad, thick and smooth, plain edges of dark 
green overlaid with red. Buttery yellow heart. 
California Cream Butter. Heads are large, globular, solid, 
with golden yellow interior. Leaves large, thick, dark green 
tinged and spotted with brown. Of excellent tender quality. 
Iceberg. This is a beautiful lettuce, the quality of which 
is simply perfect. The large, curly leaves, which cover outside 
of the solid heads, are of a bright, light green. The unusua: 
solidity of the heads is insured by the large, white main ribs 
of the leaves, each of which, curving strongly toward the 
center, makes it impossible for leaves to open outward and 
expose the center, which will always be found crisp, tender. 
Early White Cos. ‘“‘Salad Romaine’ or Celery Lettuce. Heads 
tall and circular. As a salad lettuce it is highly esteemed for 
its fresh crispness and mild flavor. Give each plant about 4 
inches space. By drawing the outer leaves together the center 
will blanch to a snowy white. 
Great Lakes. Iceberg type of lettuce. It stands heat and sun 
extremely well, and is slow in throwing its seed head. It is also 
resistant to tip burn. Outstanding for home gardeners.
