JOHNSON & STOKES' SUMMERLEAD A VALUABLE NEW LETTUCE FOR 1901 See illustration and description under Novelties, page 6. Pkt., Ice; oz., 40c; % lb., SI.25; lb., S4.00.

THE NEW MORSE LETTUCE This excellent new lettuce might be called an improved Black Seeded Simpson, except from the fact that the seed is white. It grows to a large size, as shown in photograph be- low. The outer leaves are light green, while within they blanch to a beautiful light yellow. It withstands summer lieat splendidly, and is very early. Market and private gar- deners who grow the curled lettuces will find the New Morse superior to them all. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; % lb.,50c; lb., 81.50. NEW SENSATION LETTUCE This remarkable variety, first introduced by us some years since, has rapidly grown in popularity until it has become the leader in our sales of seed among gardeners. No other lettuce thrives so well when grown at any season of the year, with- standing the hottest weather in a remarkable degree. It is a beautiful light yellowish-green color, leaves much blistered on the surface, and has the peculiarity of forming a solid head, even before half grown. Its uniform handsome and even growth is unequalled, and it is one of the easiest to grow. Pkt., 10c ; oz., 25c; % lb., 70c; lb., $2.25. NEW MAMMOTH SALAMANDER For many years the Salamander Lettuce, owing to its wonderful quality of withstanding heat and drought, has been one of the most popular sorts. In the New Mammoth Salamander we have a variety which possesses all the desir- able qualities of the old Salamander, but grows to double the size. It is the result of many years' careful selection and breeding by a Philadelphia market gardener, whose main crop is lettuce, and from whom we obtained our original seed. Owing to its handsome appearance and fine quality, it is a pid seller. Pkt., 10c; oz., "
