Childs' Half Century—We all know how much careful selection year after year has to do with the quality of our vegetables, but there are few things that can claim a half-century descent from only the choicest and best specimens of one type. This Lettuce can do so. however, and we are not surprised, therefore, at its superior qualities. Its 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 tact that for tenderness, brittleness and delicious qual- ity, this Lettuce grown in the open ground surpasses an y 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 2uick grower, and attains its full size in forty to fifty ays. and remains in line condition for a very long time.

There is probablv no better large- heading sort than this. 5e,: 15c.; $ Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may n
