Henry F. Michell, 1895 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Henry F. Michell, 1895

The unusual solidity of the heads is insured by the large white main ribs of the leaves, each. Of which, curving strongly into the centre, acts like a truss', making it impos sible for the leaves to open outward and expose the centre, which is constantly thoroughly blanched. It matters not whether in the early spring or the hottest days of summer, the quality is simply perfect. 50 long-standing and hard are the heads that they seldom shoot up to seed unless cut open with a knife. In all our experience we have seldom seen such superb heads of lettuce, and we confidently rec ommend the New Iceberg Lettuce as surpassingly fine for the home garden and equally valuable for market its beau tiful appearance insures quick sales. Per pkt. 10c., per oz. 3oc.
