LETTUCE You should have Lettuce growing in your garden until frost. Frequent plantings should be made until October, and for sowing during the hot summer months the follow- ing varieties are well adapted: French Unrivaled. (See cut.) A sure-heading variety, suitable for growing at any season. Forms large, com- pact, buttery heads, and is slow to shoot to seed. The general character is similar to "Big Boston," except that the color is a lighter green and leaves are not tinged with brown. A good Lettuce to grow at any season of the year, outside in spring and summer and under glass in winter, and in either case it can be depended upon to produce a satisfactory crop and it is a splendid Lettuce for the home garden. The seed which we supply was secured from the originator in France, and is much better than the American strain of Unrivaled Lettuce, which does not always come true to type. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; ^ lb., $ Dreer's Wonderful. A very popular variety for sum- mer planting. The large white heads resemble cabbage in their solidity, and frequently weigh 2 and 3 lbs. each. The quality is superb, being crisp, rich and tender. Pkt., lOcts.; oz., 35 cts.; Vi, lb., $ Dreer's Improved Hanson. This superior Lettuce, which we originally introduced, is excellent for summer. The heads grow to a reasonable size, and are solid, sweet, tender and crisp. For outdoor culture it is unequaled. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; K lb., 50 cts. Dreer's "All ; This Cabbage Lettuce is excellent for spring and summer use, as it stands the hot weather very well. It is of a yellowish-green color, and forms a solid heart, even before it is half grown. It is of superior flavor. It is also sometimes used for forcing under glass.
