Great Lakes (B.M., A.A.S., 1944). 
Imperial type. The best Summer 
lettuce to date, being remarkably 
resistant to heat drought and tip- 
burn. Being slow-in-going-to-seed, 
it insures heads, even in hot 
weather and by the amateur, too. 
Its crispy, thick leaves fold well 
over solid heads, which when un- 
ravelled make desirable salad 
pieces: most delicious.

mer varieties to grow; a cross between 
heading and cos types, forming loose-

sow, select Matchless. It is without 
doubt the best tasting of the loose leaf 
varieties, and comparable to the best of 
the heading sorts. If you can’t get let- 
tuce to head up, sow Matchless; it tastes 
just as good, and no worry about bolting.
