Lettuce
(LATTICH.)
One Ounce to 1,000 Plants; Two Pounds to the Acre.
Culture of Lettuce. — Sow the seed in hot-beds in February or March, and transplant into a sheltering
border with a southern exposure. For successive crops sowing may be made in the open ground as early
as the spring opens, and continuing until July. Always thin out well, or the plants will not be strong. When
wanted as a cut salad, sew the seed thickly in rows or broadcast. ..
U^oleriano's A\hite Loaf Lettuce.— Gilt
edge stock for careful growers. The best of all.
Has large, sulid heads, suitable for frames or
out-door. The most experienced truckers pro-
nounce our White Loaf Lettuce the best they ever
grew. Lettuce in frames and out-door is a most
important item with our large truckers. To suit
their purpose a lettuce must form a reliable head,
be crisp, with pleasant flavor. These qualities
they find in our White Loaf, which is used in
large quantities for fall and spring sowing, and
makes a paying crop — Packets, 5c. and 10c. Ounce,
15c. 2 Ounces, 25c. i Pound, 40c. 1 Pound, $1.50.
w6olgiauo's Black Seed Summer Let-
tuce. — A perfect heading out-door lettuce, es-
pecially during our dry, hot summer, because it
is long standing and always tender and pleasant
to the taste. It spontaneously heads from the
start, the heads growing larger as the plant
matures. It does equally well for forcing under
glass in hot-beds, cold frames, greenhouses and
for outside cultivation — Packets, 5c. and 10c.

Perfected Salamander Lettuce.— One of the best for summer use, forming good size, compact
heads. Color — light green on the outside and white inside. It will remain longer in head and stand a
greater amount of heat without burning or running to seed than any other variety. In the Southern States it
is invaluable. We recommend it to all— Packets, 5c. and 10c. Ounce, 15c. 2 Ounces, 25c. i Pound, 40c. 1

able new 7 lettuce, which withstands hot summer heat
without becoming bitter or running to seed, and pro-
duces cabbage-like heads of large size and superior
quality. Outside it is a pale green, and inside holds
a large crisp heart of cream yellow color and delicious
buttery flavor. It is the result of continuous careful
selections, and shows how intelligent attention im-
proves the lettuce. The most careful growers give
particular praise, and consider it first-class in all re-
spects. It will please you. Packets, 5c. and 10c.

prices in the market. Although a new variety, it has

FAMOUS NEW EARLY SPRING LETTUCE.
^Mammoth Black Seed Butter Lettuce.—
In a trial of several hundred lettuce we were impressed
with this kind for summer use. It makes a lar«-e
light green head ; the leaves are slightly crimpled like
our White Loaf. It withstood the summer heat and
made a finer appearance than any other sort, matur-
ing at the same time. We recommend this sort to
our trade with much confidence. Packets 5c and
