EARLIEST LETTUCE 
EARLIEST CURLED OR LOOSE LEAVED LETTUCE, 
DELICIOUSLY CRISP AND TENDER, EASIEST 
TO GROW 
Yields an abundant crop of attractive light green leaves, 
heavily curled, of remarkably crisp texture, and of the 
finest flavor. The quality and flavor even of the outside 
leaves is fully equal to if not better than the tender heart 
leaves of many heading varieties. Earliest is one of the 
most widely planted in all sections of the country, and 
especially in the great West. It is such a strong grower 
that it thrives everywhere.

BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON 
One of the standard varieties. A non-heading, curled, 
bunching, crisp variety, attractive light green color. It 
reaches a large size, grows quickly, is early, of fine quality, 
tender and sweet, and thrives splendidly during the hot 
summer months. Hasily grown by the home gardener and 
much used by market gardeners for hot bed culture.

CRISP AS ICE 
A beautiful lettuce of medium size and medium early in 
miaturity. Crisp As Ice is a cabbage butter head lettuce, 
the leaves having a rich, attractive, deep green base, and 
upper portion covered with dark brown, giving the plant 
a deep brown or bronze appearance. <A cool weather va- 
riety, valuable for both early spring and fall. 
Has a rich, creamy heart, and when cut open is so crisp 
and brittle, it was given the name “Crisp As Ice.”

OAKLEAF 
A distinctive type of Lettuce and highly recommended 
for its exceptional qualities. It forms a close center with 
rather loose outer leaves; medium size and medium green. 
The leaves are deeply lobed and the middle lobe is elongated 
giving the plant an interesting appearance. The quality is 
excellent but its most important recommendation is that it 
does not get bitter with age. The crisp, tender leaves are 
still of good flavor late in the summer when other varie- 
ties have turned bitter. 571—Pkg., 10ec; 0z., 25¢e; 14 Ib., 73e3

PRIZEHEAD LETTUCE 
Is one of the best and most reliable varieties for all-year- 
around cultivation. The name is a trifle misleading, as it 
is a loose leaved or curled variety, and does not make a 
head. Plants form a loose cluster of leaves which are ex- 
ceedingly tender, quite blistered and crumpled, sweet, crisp 
and are of light brown color varying to.a medium green 
base. Prizehead Lettuce reaches a very large size with- 
out losing its tenderness or crispness.

A recent very fine leaf lettuce developed by the U.S. 
Dept. of Agriculture, Beltsville, Md., that is slow to bolt to 
seed! : 
It withstands the hot summer weather without going to 
seed, two to three weeks longer than other varieties! If 
plants are set 10 or 12 inches apart and only the basal 
leaves used as they grow large enough for table use, let- 
tuce may be had from the same plant for several weeks, 
Slobolt has attractive light green leaves that are savoyed 
and frilled and it is of deliciously tender crisp quality. You 
will like it immensely. Black’ seeded.

SUMMER HEADER LETTUCE 
BLACK SEEDED TENNIS BALL 
A superb head lettuce that we introduced in 1927, that 
forms solid heads despite hot weather, a thing which has 
hitherto been almost impossible. In tests on our Clifftwood 
Farms, practically every plant formed a fine, firm, solid 
head of butter-head lettuce of the finest flavor during the 
heat of summer. : 
The leaves are light green, crumpled, thick and tender, 
blanching to creamy white in the center of the head. Heads 
are large, about 8 to 10 inches in diameter, they have a 
delicious rich, buttery flavor, and they are the last to go to 
seed. It stands heat better than any other variety, with- 
out wilting. e
