Neither of these are of any value for outdoor cul- ture, except in cool moist weather. Wheeler's Tom Thumb and Mignonette are excellent small-heading varieties, either for growing under glass or in cool locations in the open ground. Black-Seeded Tennis Ball, Black- and Yellow-Seeded Butter, and Stonehead Golden Yellow are fine headers, both in the cold-frame and in the open ground during the early spring. Big Boston and Philadelphia Speckled Dutch Butter are especially fine, larger heading varieties for grow- ing in cold-frames and in the open ground, producing very large, solid, buttery, yellow heads of nicely blanched leaves; these two do not succeed well in a warm greenhouse. Grand Rapids is a fine, large, curly- lettuce of a golden-green hue, extensively grown for market ; 't is a cutting or bunch lettuce, tennis ball. and does not form 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 not perfectly resemble the original W.
