Sown at the same time as the head Lettuces, this variety perfects compact, 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. Because of its compact, upright growth, it may be planted in rows 18 inches apart, with the plants four inches apart in the row. This is the variety so extensively served in the best Hotels and restaurants under the name of Romaine. It is best served with a French dressing.

The melons are large, round to oval in shape, extremely thick meated and have a very small seed cavity; flesh is light green, very solid and of a rich honey-like flavor, luscious and juicy, much more so than any variety of muskmelon. It is an excellent keeping melon and fruits may be laid away for use late in the fall when they will be greatly appreciated, not only for their delightful flavor, but because the other varieties of melons are gone. On account of the hard shell it is an excellent shipper, carrying safely for long distances without being bruised or damaged in any manner. It is suitable for grow- ing in all places of equal latitude to Philadelphia and the West, inc
