JfPfifel ^ Tne White-Seeded Tennis Ball is the variety generally- planted for forcing under glass; but tbe improved strain, called Hittinger,s Belmont, is more satisfactory, producing larger heads, while the leaves are of heavier substance. Neither of these are of any value for outdoor culture, ex- cept in cool, moist weatber. Wheeler's Tom Thumb and Mignonette are excellent small-heading varieties, either for growing under glass or in cool locations in tbe open ground. Black-Seeded Tennis Ball, Black- and Yelloic-Seeded Butter, and Stonehead Golden Yellow are fine headers, either in the cold-frame or in the open ground during the early spring. Big Boston and Philadelphia Speckled Dutch Butler are especially fine, large-heading varieties for growing in cold- frames or in tbe open ground, producing very large, solid, buttery, yellow beads of nicely blanched leaves ; these two do not succeed well in a warm greenhouse. Grand Rapids is a fine, large, curly Lettuce of a golden-green hue, exten- sively grown for market in some localities; it is a cutting Philadelphia early dutch butter lettuce. or bunch Lettuce and does not form Per oz.
