South of Mason and Dixon's line can be sown in the open ground in fall, and needs only a slight protection of straw or loose litter to be perfectly hardy. We wish to call special attention to our two superior varieties, Half-Century and Half-Century Crisphead. If you have never tried them a real pleasure and satisfaction awaits you. CHILDS' HALF-CENTURY LETTUCE—THE FAR-FAMED. 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 delicate flavor. It may seem a good deal to say, but it is, nevertheless, a fact that for tenderness, brittleness and delicious quality 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; attaining its full size in forty to fifty days, and remains in fine con- dition for a long time. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; lb., $ CHILDS' HALF-CENTURY CRISPHEAD LETTUCE—THE PERFECT. It is with much pleasure we offer a sport from our famous Half-Century Lettuce, that produces a large, solid head. It has much the same characteristics of the Half-Century, being exceedingly crisp
