The above cut represents a sectional view, showing the inside of this truly superior Lettuce, the heads of which grow to a remarkable size, and are deliciouslj sweet, tender and crisp, even to the outer leaves. We are indebted, to Col. Hanson of Maryland for this variety, who states that it has been in his family for over seventy j^ears, When properly cultivated, the heads are very large, weighing from 2^ to three lbs., and measuring to outer leaves 10 inches in diameter. The color is of the most beautiful green without, and white within, and is entirely free from any bitter or unpleasant taste found in some varieties. This variety heads so solidly that it produces but little seed, consequently we have not been able, imtil this year, to offer any of this superior seed to the trade. Its adaptability to all climates and localities is one of its strongest recommendations. Price per packet, 25 cents. Lake Mills. ^yIs., July 2lsi, 1873.
