NEW ICEBERG LETTUCE. NEW MIGNONETTE.—A most unique and attractive new sort. The entire plant meas- ures only seven inches in diameter, and is very solid and compact. The outer leaves are few, and these cling so closely to the head that it is almost true to say that it is all head. The small surface of the leaves which are separated from the head is deeply crum- pled as in a Savoy cabbage, and richly colored with russet and bronze green of varying shades. The heart is of a creamy yellow waved with pale greenish white. It is very hardy, resisting drouth and ei missive moist- ure with equal success—a most valuable fea- ture in our climate. It is fit for use early, which, combined with its long-standing char- acter, constitutes it an all-season variety in the superlative degree. Per pkt. 5c; oz. 15c, 5£ lb. 40c. DENVER MARKET.—An early variety of Head Lettuce, either for forcing or open grouud. It forms large, solid heads, of a good light green color, and is very slow to go to seed. The leaves are beautifully marked and blistered (like the Savoy cabbages), and very crisp and tender and of excellent flavor. By these blistered leaves it distinguishes itself from any other kind of lettuce now grown. The shape of the head resembles somewhat the "Hanson," but is more ob- long. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 15e, lb. 4ue. ICEBERG.—There is no handsomer or more solid cabbage lettuce in cultivation —in fact, it is strikingly beautiful. The large, curly leaves that cover the outside of the solid heads are of a bright, light green, with a very slight reddish tinge at the. edges. The center is thoroughly blanched. Whether in early spring or the hottest days of summer, the quality is simply perfect. Pkt. 5c. oz. 15c, lb. 40c. CALIFORNIA CREAM variety of cabbage lettuce, with round, soli
