24 ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, NEW YORK 

Every up-to-date seed farm must have extensive trial grounds where varieties can be tested, studied and compared. 
From the results 
of these trials we are able to keep our customers advised on the best varieties available. 
LEAF LETTUCE 
Vitamins Ab Cg 
Pkt. will sow 50 ft. row 
Leaf lettuce may be sown in open ground as soon as soil can be worked. Sow seed % inch deep and thin 
to 6 inches. 
Additional plantings may be made at three week intervals throughout the season. 
We have tested Slobolt and find that it does remain in edible condition longer than other varieties. We 
recommend that you also try Slobolt. 
Black Seeded Simpson is the standard green variety for the home garden, while most market gardeners seem 
to prefer Grand Rapids, especially for greenhouse culture. 
Prizehead is very fine quality but its brown color confines its use to the home garden.

are large, attractive, compact, with broad, frilled 
light green leaves that are of fine crisp texture and

‘““We’ve had extremely good luck with your sweet corn seed 
which is proven by the fact that we can buy the same varieties 
right here at home at cheaper prices, but we consider your seeds 
a better value.’’
