EARLY WHITE VIENNA. 55 days. 
Cooked before it is fully grown (when 
about two inches in diameter), it is exceed- 
ingly tender and excellent, combining both 
the flavors of cabbage and turnip. Should 
be cooked the same as you would cook 
turnips. It is hardy and thrives every- 
where. Our Early White Vienna is grown 
from well selected seed and tested thor- 
oughly for trueness to type. This variety 
will give you great satisfaction. 
A select early strain. White bulbs, 
tinged with green. Small leaves. Tops are 
about eight to ten inches long. Being ex- 
tremely early it is a desirable sort for 
forcing. Quality very fine. Flesh is white 
and delicate. 526—Salzer’s Cliffwood Farm

OAKLEAF 
42 days. 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 im- 
portant 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 varieties have turned bitter. 571—Pkg., 15c; oz., 48e;

lettuce, that heads during hot weather, from the Michigan State — 
College, and that shows marked resistance to tip-burn! It has 
given excellent results for late July and August maturity, especial- 
ly on upland soils. A valuable hot weather variety and very de- 
sirable. 564—Pkg., 15¢; 0z., 65e; %4 Ib., $2.10; 1 Ib., $3.95, postpai 
SALAD BOWL = ya 
43 days. All America Award winner for 1952. This grand ne : 
lettuce is well named since one head nicely fills a salad bowl. The 
rich green leaves are closely set, waved and notched similar in a 
pearance to endive or escarole. The quality, tenderness and fi 
texture are held for a long time. Seems much better able to stan 
the sun than Oakleaf and is a large, fast grower of high quality. 
A beautifully attractive plant, ideal for the home garden and 
to go to seed, 573—PkKg., 25c; oz., S5e; 14 Ib., $2.75, postpaid. |
