THESE GREENS HELP WIN FAME FOR YOUR SALADS 
Home gardeners have a wonderful opportunity 
to enjoy tasteful, tempting salads all summer 
long. 
The. kind of lettuce you can grow at home— 
really crisp, fresh leaf letiuce—is the kind 
every master chef sighs for and can't get. As 
soon as your soil is workable, plant a row of 
black Seeded Simpson, or Oak Leaf. Or if 
you like head lettuce, try Big Boston, a butter- 
head full-flavored kind you can't buy on the 
market. 
Hot weather is hard on most lettuce, but 
try Great Lakes: you'll be surprised how well 
it grows and how slowly it bolts to seed. And 
you'll be delighted with its good crisp head 
lettuce flavor. 
For a real treat, try Oak Leaf. It combines 
the wonderful flavor and quality of leaf lettuce 
with the productivity and crispness of head 
lettuce. If allowed to stand, it produces loose 
heads. 
Endive comes in two types, broad and curly 
leaved. Both have a distinctive flavor. They 
stand both hot weather and ‘frost. A late 
sowing should always be made to mature 
in the fall, when frost improves the flavor. 
Chives is a most useful salad vegetable, It 
is a cousin of the onion of which the leaves 
are used. They have a delicate onion flavor, 
just enough to season the salad. Chives grow 
from seed easily, and a plant lives many 
years. It bears an attractive lavender flower 
and is often used as a border along the 
garden path.
