Grand Rapids Forcing Lettuce
There is no better forcing variety among the curled-leaved sorts than the Grand Rapids, and it is quite as good for outdoor culture as other sorts. Large, beautiful leaves, very crisp and tender. Twenty to 30 pounds have been raised from a common sash, and three crops taken off the ground. Frequently a house full of this lettuce will average ½ pounds. Excellent for shipping and will insure sales at sight. The soil cannot well be too rich. Price-(5c per pkt.) (15c per oz.) (40c per ¼ lb.) ($1.40 per lb.) ($1.30 per lb. In 10-lb. Lots) prepaid.
