This Lettuce can do so, however, and we are not surprised, therefore, at its superior qualities. Jts leaves fold together, forming a long, loose - head, remarkable for tenderness" and delicious flavor. It may seem a-good-deal" to say, but it is, nevertheless, a fact, that for tenderness, brittleness and delicious qual- ity, this Lettuce, grown in the open ground surpasses any other sort grown under glass. Nothing can approach it in quality. It is so brittle and tender that its leaves break to pieces in handling, if care is not used. It is a quick grower, and attains its full size in forty to fifty / days, and remains in fine condition for a very long time. enver Market, or Savoy—An early variety of head Let- tuce, either for forcing or open ground. Forms large, solid heads of a good light-green color. The leaves are beautifully marked and blistered (like Savoy Cabbage ) and crisp and tender; of excellent flavor. This is in many respects a most unique Lettuce, and one which will be very popular as soon as known, occupying the same / place among Lettuce, as Savoys do among Cabbages. / Pkt., 5c; 160.; lb., $ ,
