A very superior variety of cabbage Let- tuce, appropriately named on account of the beautiful, hard, close head it makes. Since we first introduced this Lettuce three years ago the demand for seed has steadily increased. This demand, coming mainly from our regular customers, shows that the variety is a pleasing one, and that its good qualities are fully appreciated. It is adapted to both spring and summer use, as it withstands intense heat. Forms large heads, leaves closely set, with extremely solid heart, even before it is half grown.
