Chllds' 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 can claim a half- century's descent from only the choicest and best speci- mens 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 fact,that for 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. Fifty years is a long time to cultivate, select and improve any vegetable; but it surely accomplished much in this Lettuce. It is a quick grower and attains its full size in forty to fiftv davs, and remains in fine condition for a verylong time.
