Sugar Loaf
In the spring of 1879 a customer in Illinois sent me a sample of a new lettuce. Having tested it I present my patrons with its picture and also offer seeds of the same. Its habit of growth is that while it branches out, growing under good cultivation to ten or twelve inches in diameter, it also grows thick and high, thus making a large plant with plenty of heart. It is medium green in color; the top leaves, as the plant attains perfection, assuming a fine brown tinge. It is of excellent quality and does not quickly run to seed. I recommend it as being among the best of summer lettuces. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c.
