Currie's Grand Rapids Lettuce CURRIE'S GRAND RAPIDS EXTRA SELECTED STOCK The most popular of all Forcing Lettuce. On account of its upright habit of growth it can be grown closer than other sorts, and is less liable to rot; the leaves are light yellowish-green, excellent for shipping and keep a long time without wilting. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; J/4 lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.00. BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON Selected Stock—A favorite forcing variety; forms a compact mass of leaves and differs in being lighter colored, and in nearly double the size of the Curled Simpson. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; Va lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.00. CURRIE'S PRIZE HEAD Forms a large head of loose leaves, bright green in color, tinged at the edges with red; very crisp and tender, and of excellent flavor, and has the faculty of keeping its good qualities throughout the entire season. We re- commend this as one of the best for family use. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Va lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.50. EARLY CURLED SIMPSON White Seeded. Does not head, but forms compact mass of leaves. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; V\ lb., 40c; 1 lb., $1.50. ROMAINE OR COS LETTUCE This type "saves the day" when nearly all other lettuces go on a strike and "shoot" seed stalks. PARIS WHITE COS One of the best known. Plants erect, and tightly folded, leaves pale green and of good quality, which it retains for a long time. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; Va lb., 65c; 1 lb., $1.75. TRIANON COS Sown at the same time as the head Lettuces, this variety perfects com- pact, upright, tightly folded cones within sixty days of sowing the seeds. It folds of its own accord, no tying being required, and inside leaves bleach naturally to a most attractive greenish white. It is an ideal Lettuce for sowing again during June for use during August when regular head Lettuces will not form solid plants. Pkt., 10c; cz.., 25c; Va lb., 75c; 1 lb., $1.75. All Seasons—A splendid mid-summer variety, forming large solid heads of broad, thick leaves, light green outside, the inner leaves being blanched creamy yellow, crisp and tender and of a delicate buttery flavor. Pkt., 10c; oz.. 20c; Va lb., 60c; 1 lb., $1.75.
