A packet will sow about 40 feet of row; 
L E T T U ¢ E an ounce 350 feet. Sow 1 to 2 pounds per acre. 
Even the smallest of home gardens can easily grow plenty of lettuce and by 
making successive sowings you can have a supply of lettuce throughout the 
season. The loose leaf varieties may be thinned four to six inches apart when 
they come up and then every other one taken out and used as they get larger. 
Thin the heading varieties 12-18 inches apart in the row while the plants are 
still small. Be sure to give them plenty of room or they will not make heads. 
HEADING VARIETIES

542 WHITE BOSTON. Sure Heading. 
68 days. The most popular “‘Butterhead’’ lettuce grown today, for 
home gardens as well as market and on muck or upland. The leaves 
are light green and smoother and more tender than the crisp heading 
types, and.they form excellent tightly folded heads of the most deli- 
cious quality and flavor. This variety heads well under almost all con- 
ditions and is somewhat resistant to tipburn. Our strain is exception- 
ally sure heading and uniform.

highly. 
532 MIGNONETTE. Delicious Small Heading Type. 65 days. For deli- 
cate sweet head lettuce in the garden, Mignonette is our choice. The 
small round heads form early and head evenly, and the quality is 
wonderful—tender, crisp and free of bitterness. The outer leaves are 
dark green tinged with a distinctive reddish brown and the inside of 
the head is a beautiful creamy yellow. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Oz. 35c; Oz. 55c¢; 14% Lb. $1.45. 
502 BIBB. The Gourmet’s Favorite. 58 days. A distinctive variety, 
very early and of highest quality, Bibb has small rounded leaves that 
form a tight cluster and blanch to yellow in the center. The thick suc- 
culent midrib and blanched portions of the leaf are very tender and 
sweet, a great delicacy much prized by salad enthusiasts. Easily 
grown in early spring or fall, fine for forcing under glass but not for 
warm weather use as it bolts to seed very quickly.

530 MATCHLESS 
Highest Quality —Slow to Bolt 
60 days. Everyone who appreci- 
ates salad at its best should try 
Matchless. It has the same 
superb quality as Bibb; tender, 
crisp and sweet flavored but will 
stand much longer without bolt- 
ing and preserves its quality even 
in warm weather. The plants 
form an upright cluster of thick, 
dark green leaves of deer tongue 
shape, slender and pointed with a 
thick crisp midrib. The blanched 
portion is longer than Bibb and 
just as delicious.

508 CORNELL 456. Heat-Resistant. For Muck and Upland. 
76 days. By far the best variety for growing on muck in the East, this 
tip-burn resistant lettuce can be grown throughout the season from 
early to late. It is extremely slow to bolt and makes fine clean hard 
heads even in hot weather. Earlier than Great Lakes, it is a sure-head- 
ing medium-sized type, with attractive color and fine quality. 
Cornell 456 also does very well on upland and we highly recommend 
it for both home and commercial use. The heavily crumpled leaves 
form solid crisp heads even under adverse conditions. Our uniform, 
dependable stock is highly regarded by critical growers.

534 PREMIER GREAT LAKES. 81 days. A refined, smoother-leaved 
early strain of Great Lakes well-liked by many upland growers. Not 
as resistant to tip-burn but makes large well-rounded crisp heads of 
fine quality. Ready ahead of the regular type.

521 GREAT LAKES 659 (New). 83 days. Especially popular for fall 
crops on muck or upland this strain has heavily blistered leaves of 
attractive dark green color. It matures in the same season or slightly 
later than the standard Great Lakes and produces firm medium-sized 
heads of excellent type. The outer leaves grow close around the head 
and often twist over it. Great Lakes 659 shows good resistance to cool 
weather. Pkt. 15c; 44 Oz. 40c; Oz. 75c; 144 Lb. $2.00; 14 Lb. $3.15. 
520 GREAT LAKES. The Best Heading Kind for Summer. 
82 days. This is the favorite Iceberg lettuce all over the country and 
still the best for most growers. It stands a long time without bolting 
and is so resistant to tip-burn that the heads remain in fine condition 
even in hot weather. 
The plants aré large and vigorous, dark green in color and the 
fringed leaves wrap over very tightly making solid compact heads of 
unusual crispness. Great Lakes is an ideal summer lettuce for home 
gardeners and market growers alike, for it makes hard, clean heads 
under almost all conditions. They mature about a week after Pennlake. 
Be sure to give the plants plenty of room—thin to at least 14 inches 
apart, and they will make the kind of heads that lettuce growers want.
