A good Lettuce to grow at any sea- son 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. It is a splendid Lettuce for the home garden. The seed which we supply was secured from the origi- nator in France, and is much better than the American strain of Unrivalled Lettuce, which does not always come true to type. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40cts.; Jib., $ DREER'S TVONDERFUI^ We were fortunatein being the introducers of this valuable variety, and the fact that many of those who purchased the seed of 'Wonderful ' the first time it was offered have continued to include it in their order each spring is an indication of its pleas- ing qualities. It has become a popular variety, particularly in the South, where it withstands ex- treme heat and forms perfect heads, of enormous size, which resemble cabbage in their solidity, measuring from 12 to 15 inches across and fre- quently weighing 2 to 3 pounds each. The outer leaves tightly overlap, and are rich, dark green in color, while the heart blanches up beautifully, and the quality is superb, being crisp, rich and tender. It can be depended upon for all seasons. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; J lb., $ r^' UMM^
