For those who want a lettuce that does not head, we recommend this variety as superior to all others. It has thin, very tender leaves, which are formed in large loose clusters; it is valuable for forcing and sowing out of doors, for early summer. The leaves are light yellowish green and a little wilt- ing is not noticed. This variety is very popular with market gardeners. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 34 1d 25c, CALIFORNIA CREAM BUTTER—Head.la, so, m. A distinct variety of cabbage Lettuce. It forms round, solid heads, of magnificent size. Tbe leaves are of a very cream-yellow color— most refreshing in appearance and par- ticularly rich and buttery to the taste. The heads are of good size, compact, very hard and solid. The heads are so solid that gen- erally they have to be cut before any seed stock can make its appearance. Pkt. 5c, oz.,10c, y± lb 85c, lb. 85c. NEW YORK—Head, ea, g, m. Heads al- most as solid as an early summer cabbage^ which in general form it somewhat resembles. It blanches itself naturally, tender and of ex- cellent flavor, and entirely free from bitterness. Pjkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 34 lb. 35c, lb. 85c. GRAND RAPIDS—No head. Forcing, e, g, m. This famous variety originated at Grand Rapids, Mich., where it is largely grown for shipment, and where it is considered the best loose-headed Lettuce for forcing under glass. Also desirable for early spring out door culti- vation. Leaves medium size, of light yellow- ish-green color, much crimped, frilled and orna- mental ; very upright, compact growth ; forms a fair sized but loose head; crisp, tender and a good quality. Will stand without spoiling a week to ten days after it is fit to cut. Mora largelv used for forcing than any other variety. 5c, oz. 10c, 3^ lb. 85c, lb. 85c. , m. Am DENVER MARKET—Head. early variety of Head Lettuce for open ground. It quickly forms large solid heads and is slow to go to seed. The leaves are crisp and tender, beautifully curled and crimpled, and of excel- lent flavor. By the blistered leaves it distin- guishes itself from any other kind of Lettuce now grown. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 34 1°. 25c, lb>85c. >/ IMPROVED HANSON —Head, la, g, m. The finest strain of this popular variety in the country is what we offer. Our seed will produce mammoth heads almost as solid as cabbage, oftentimes exceeding 6 lbs. in weight, deliciously sweet, crisp and tender. Stands drought and scorch- ing heat better than many others. It is entirely free from bitter taste, even to the outer leaves. Each succeeding year the Hanson Let- tuce holds its popularity against all new candidates. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 34 *b. 25c, lb. 85c.
