in much favor with home gardeners everywhere. The mature head

_ outside leaves slightly incurved to protect the head from sunburn. 
The heads range from 16 to 18 inches in diameter and weigh from 
3 to 3% pounds each, . 
The heart is beautifully blanched, creamy white, crisp, tender, 
_and free from any trace of bitterness. It is robust and is a stand-

SUMMER HEADER > 
_ - BLACK SEEDED TENNIS BALL 
_ 76 days. 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 Cliff'wood Farms, prac- 
tically 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, without wilting. 577—Pkge., 15e; oz., 3S8e3

-- PRIZEHEAD 
45 days. 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 exceedingly 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 without losing its tenderness or crispness. 575—
