Dreer's "All Heart" Lettuce Lettuce —Dreer's "All Heart" 440 The name of this variety is most descriptive, because the few loose outer leaves enclose a head that is one large solid heart. Now thoroughly tested in all soils and sec- tions, we have yet to hear of an instance where Dreer's All-Heart Lettuce did not come through with flying colors.

The heads are of delicate yellowish green color, making it a most attractive market variety. The flavor is excellent.
